Given Functions: We are given two functions: $\newline$ $f(x) = 3x^2 + 4x - 2$ $\newline$ $g(x) = 7x^2 - bx + 3$ $\newline$ And we know that: $\newline$ $f(x) - g(x) = -4x^2 + 6x - 5$ $\newline$ To find the value of $b$ , we need to subtract $g(x)$ from $f(x)$ and compare the result to the given expression for $f(x) - g(x)$ .
Subtracting $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ : Let's perform the subtraction: $\newline$ $f(x) - g(x) = (3x^2 + 4x - 2) - (7x^2 - bx + 3)$ $\newline$ Simplify the expression by distributing the negative sign and combining like terms: $\newline$ $f(x) - g(x) = 3x^2 + 4x - 2 - 7x^2 + bx - 3$ $\newline$ $f(x) - g(x) = -4x^2 + (4 + b)x - 5$
Comparing Coefficients: Now we compare the coefficients of the resulting expression with the given expression for $f(x) - g(x)$ : $-4x^2 + (4 + b)x - 5 = -4x^2 + 6x - 5$ The coefficients of $x^2$ and the constant terms are already equal on both sides, so we only need to compare the coefficients of $x$ : $4 + b = 6$
Solving for b: To find the value of b, we solve the equation: $\newline$ $4 + b = 6$ $\newline$ Subtract $4$ from both sides: $\newline$ $b = 6 - 4$ $\newline$ $b = 2$
