If f(x) = 3x + 2 and
g(x) = 2x- 2,
what is (f - g)(x)?
a. x+4
b. x-2
c. x
d. 5x – 2
e. x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

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

f(x) = 3x + 2, g(x) = 2x - 2.

Substitute:

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

combine like terms

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

the answer will be b x² +x-1

step-by-step explanation:

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
