Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ 3^x + 14x-2}}

Explanation:

We are given 2 functions:

  • f(x)= 3ˣ + 10x
  • g(x)= 4x-2

We are asked to find (f+g)(x) or f(x)+ g(x). Essentially, we are finding the sum of the functions.


(f+g)(x)=f(x)+ g(x)


(f+g)(x)=(3^x + 10x) + (4x-2)


(f+g)(x)= 3^x + 10x + 4x -2

Simplify the expression by combining like terms. There are 2 terms with a variable of x, so they can be added together.


(f+g)(x)= 3^x + ( 10x + 4x) -2


(f+g)(x)= 3^x + 14x -2

The sum of the functions f(x) and g(x) is 3ˣ + 14x -2 and choice B is correct.
