For f(x) = 4x + 1 and g(x) = x2 – 5, find (f - g)(x).

9x

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide x from both equations on both sides to isolate the f and the g. Then, calculate to find f and g alone.

f = 4 + 1 = 5.

g = 1^2 - 5 = 1 - 5 = -4.

Subtract g from f, and you get 9. Finally multiply this product by x to find the answer to the expression (f-g)(x).

step-by-step explanation:

i dont get

1/4 and 8/3 because:

the reciprocal if 4 is 1/4 because 4 is used as 4/1 and the opposite of that is 1/4. the opposite of 3/8 is 8/3 so that is the answer.
