Math Problem Statement

Select all that apply. Given f(x) =-3x+x and g(x) = 5. (f+g)(x) = -3x^2+x+5 (f+g)(x)-3x^2+x+5 (f-g)(x)=3x^2+x-5 (f-g)(x)-3x^2-x-5 (fg)(x)=-15x^2+5 (fg)(x)=-15^2+5x

Solution

Let's solve each expression step by step, given:

  • f(x)=3x+x=2xf(x) = -3x + x = -2x
  • g(x)=5g(x) = 5

Now, let's analyze each expression:

  1. (f+g)(x)=3x2+x+5(f + g)(x) = -3x^2 + x + 5:

    • (f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)=2x+5(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = -2x + 5
    • This is incorrect, since the given expression involves 3x2-3x^2, but f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) don't have any x2x^2 terms.
  2. (f+g)(x)=3x2+x+5(f + g)(x) = -3x^2 + x + 5:

    • This repeats the previous equation and is still incorrect for the same reason.
  3. (fg)(x)=3x2+x5(f - g)(x) = 3x^2 + x - 5:

    • (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)=2x5(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) = -2x - 5
    • This is incorrect. The expression involves 3x23x^2, which does not exist in f(x)f(x) or g(x)g(x).
  4. (fg)(x)=3x2x5(f - g)(x) = -3x^2 - x - 5:

    • This expression introduces 3x2-3x^2, which is not present in f(x)f(x) or g(x)g(x), so it is incorrect.
  5. (fg)(x)=15x2+5(fg)(x) = -15x^2 + 5:

    • (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)=(2x)5=10x(fg)(x) = f(x) \cdot g(x) = (-2x) \cdot 5 = -10x
    • This is incorrect because the expression has 15x2-15x^2, but the correct result should be 10x-10x.
  6. (fg)(x)=152+5x(fg)(x) = -15^2 + 5x:

    • This is incorrect. It seems to misapply the multiplication of f(x)g(x)f(x) \cdot g(x). The correct result for fg(x)fg(x) should be 10x-10x, not 152+5x-15^2 + 5x.

Conclusion:

None of the expressions provided are correct based on the functions f(x)=2xf(x) = -2x and g(x)=5g(x) = 5.
