Q. What is (f+g)(x)?f(x)=5xg(x)=2x2+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 sum of f(x) and g(x).(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)
Find f+g: We have: f(x)=5xg(x)=2x2+8xNow, we need to find (f+g)(x) by adding f(x) and g(x) together.(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)(f+g)(x)=5x+(2x2+8x)
Combine like terms: Combine like terms to simplify the expression.(f+g)(x)=2x2+(5x+8x)(f+g)(x)=2x2+13xThis is the simplified polynomial form of (f+g)(x).
