Question

Let f(-x) = 5x – 2 and g(x) = 2x + 3 and find f(x) –

f(0) — 9(x) = 7x – 1
f(.2) – 9(x) = 7x + 1
f(x) — 9(2) = 3x – 5
f(x) – 9(x) = -3x +5

Answer 1

3x - 5

Explanation:

Given that f(x) = 5x - 2 and g(x) = 2x+3

f(x) - g(x) = 5x-2 - (2x+3)

Expand

f(x) - g(x) = 5x - 2 - 2x - 3

Collect like terms

f(x) - g(x) = 5x - 2x -2-3

f(x) - g(x) = 3x - 5

Hence the required answer is 3x - 5
