Math Problem Statement

solve f(x)-g(x) f(x)=2x+5 g(x)=3x+4

Solution

To solve f(x)g(x)f(x) - g(x), where f(x)=2x+5f(x) = 2x + 5 and g(x)=3x+4g(x) = 3x + 4, we proceed as follows:

  1. Substitute the given functions into the expression f(x)g(x)f(x) - g(x):

f(x)g(x)=(2x+5)(3x+4)f(x) - g(x) = (2x + 5) - (3x + 4)

  1. Distribute the negative sign across the terms in g(x)g(x):

f(x)g(x)=2x+53x4f(x) - g(x) = 2x + 5 - 3x - 4

  1. Combine like terms:

f(x)g(x)=(2x3x)+(54)f(x) - g(x) = (2x - 3x) + (5 - 4)

f(x)g(x)=x+1f(x) - g(x) = -x + 1

So, the solution is:

f(x)g(x)=x+1f(x) - g(x) = -x + 1

Tip: When subtracting functions, always remember to distribute the negative sign to each term in the second function before combining like terms.
