If f(x) = 2x2 - 5 and g(x) = x2 - 4x - 8, find (f - g)(x).
O A. (f- g)(x) = x2 - 4x - 3
O B. (f- g)(x) = x2 + 4x + 3
O C. (f- g)(x) = 3x2 - 4x - 13
O D. (f - g)(x) = -x2 - 13

Respuesta :

The value of (f - g)(x) is x² + 4x + 3 if f(x) =  2x² - 5 and g(x) = x² - 4x - 8 option (B) is correct.

What is a function?

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

We have:

f(x) =  2x² - 5

g(x) = x² - 4x - 8

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

= (2x² - 5) - (x² - 4x - 8)

= 2x² - 5 - x² + 4x + 8

= x² + 4x + 3

(f - g)(x) = x² + 4x + 3

Thus, the value of (f - g)(x) is x² + 4x + 3 if f(x) =  2x² - 5 and g(x) = x² - 4x - 8 option (B) is correct.
