Math Problem Statement
For the functions f and g :
f ( x )
3 x
2
;
g
(
x
)
2 x
1
find ( f + g ) ( x ) and its domain.
( f + g ) ( x )
Domain (in interval notation):
Solution
To find , we add the two functions and together:
Given:
Step 1: Add the two functions
Step 2: Simplify the expression
So, .
Step 3: Domain
Since both and are linear functions (polynomials of degree 1), their domains are all real numbers, . Adding them together does not restrict the domain.
Thus, the domain of is all real numbers, written in interval notation as:
Final Answer:
Do you want more details on how the domain was determined or any other questions?
