If f(x)=4-x^2 and g(x)=6x, which expression is equivalent to (g-f)(3)?

The equivalent to (g-f)(3) if f(x)=4-x^2 and g(x)=6x is 23

Composite functions are functions that are written inside another function. We can also refer to them as a function of a function.

Given the expressions

What we are to find is  (g-f)(3). But first, we need to get  (g-f)(x)

(g-f)(x) = g(x) - f(x)

(g-f)(x) = 6x - (4-x²)

Expand then bracket:

(g-f)(x) = 6x - 4 + x²

Next is to get  (g-f)(3) by substituting x = 3 into the resulting function

(g-f)(3) = 6(3) - 4 + (3)²

(g-f)(3) = 18 - 4 + 9

(g-f)(3) = 14 + 9

(g-f)(3) = 23

Hence the equivalent to (g-f)(3) if f(x)=4-x^2 and g(x)=6x is 23.
