Math Problem Statement

f(x) = x2 + 7,    g(x) = 

6 − x

(a)    (f + g)(x) =

Solution

Given the functions f(x)=x2+7f(x) = x^2 + 7 and g(x)=6xg(x) = 6 - x, you are asked to find (f+g)(x)(f + g)(x), which represents the sum of the two functions.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. f(x)=x2+7f(x) = x^2 + 7

  2. g(x)=6xg(x) = 6 - x

  3. To find (f+g)(x)(f + g)(x), you add the two functions: (f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)=(x2+7)+(6x)(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = (x^2 + 7) + (6 - x)

  4. Combine like terms: (f+g)(x)=x2x+7+6=x2x+13(f + g)(x) = x^2 - x + 7 + 6 = x^2 - x + 13

Final Answer:

(f+g)(x)=x2x+13(f + g)(x) = x^2 - x + 13
