Q. What is (f−g)(x)?f(x)=2x2g(x)=x2+8xWrite your answer as a polynomial or a rational function in simplest form.______
Identify formula: Identify the formula for (f−g)(x). (f−g)(x) is the difference of f(x) and g(x). (f−g)(x)=f(x)−g(x)
Substitute f(x) and g(x): We have: f(x)=2x2g(x)=x2+8xNow, substitute f(x) and g(x) into the formula for (f−g)(x). (f−g)(x)=f(x)−g(x)(f−g)(x)=2x2−(x2+8x)
Distribute negative sign: Distribute the negative sign through the parentheses to simplify the expression. (f−g)(x)=2x2−x2−8x
Combine like terms: Combine like terms to get the final expression for (f−g)(x). (f−g)(x)=(2x2−x2)−8x(f−g)(x)=x2−8x
