Find (f + g)(x) given f(x) = 4x - 1 and g(x) = 2x - 5

Solution

We are given two functions: f(x)=4x1f(x) = 4x - 1 g(x)=2x5g(x) = 2x - 5

To find (f+g)(x)(f + g)(x), we simply add the two functions together:

(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) Substituting the given functions: (f+g)(x)=(4x1)+(2x5)(f + g)(x) = (4x - 1) + (2x - 5) Now, combine like terms: (f+g)(x)=4x+2x15(f + g)(x) = 4x + 2x - 1 - 5 (f+g)(x)=6x6(f + g)(x) = 6x - 6

Thus, (f+g)(x)=6x6(f + g)(x) = 6x - 6.
