Identify Functions and Operations: Identify the given functions and the operations to be performed.We have two pairs of functions and two different operations to perform on them:1. h(x)=3x−4 and g(x)=x2−5x, we need to find (h+g)(x).2. g(x)=x3+4x and h(x)=4x−4, we need to find (5g−5h)(x).
Find (h+g)(x): Find the expression for (h+g)(x).To find (h+g)(x), we simply add the functions h(x) and g(x) together:(h+g)(x)=h(x)+g(x)=(3x−4)+(x2−5x)Combine like terms:=x2−2x−4
Find (5g−5h)(x): Find the expression for (5g−5h)(x). To find (5g−5h)(x), we multiply each function by 5 and then subtract 5h(x) from 5g(x): (5g−5h)(x)=5g(x)−5h(x)=5(x3+4x)−5(4x−4) Distribute the 5 into each term: =5x3+20x−(20x−20) Combine like terms: =5x3+20
