Answer 1

( f - g)(2) = 14

Explanation:

f(x) = 3x² + 1

g(x) = 1 - x

To find (f - g)(2) first find (f - g)(x)

To find (f - g)(x) subtract g(x) from f(x)

That's

(f - g)(x) = 3x² + 1 - ( 1 - x)

(f - g)(x) = 3x² + 1 - 1 + x

(f - g)(x) = 3x² + x

To find ( f - g)(2) substitute 2 into (f - g(x)

That's

( f - g)(2) = 3(2)² + 2

( f - g)(2) = 3(4) + 2

( f - g)(2) = 12 + 2

We have the final answer as

( f - g)(2) = 14

Hope this helps you
