Question

Jaden and Joel both worked at the coffee shop today. Jaden's total cups of coffee made is represented by f(x), and Joel's total cups of coffee made is represented by g(x). Use the functions below to write a function that represents the total cups of coffee they made today.

f(x) = 4x − 1
g(x) = 2x + 3

6x + 2
2x + 1
2x − 4
4x + 4

Answer 1

For the flvs students the answer is 6x + 2

Explanation:

Answer 2

6x + 2

Explanation:

If the total number of cups of coffee made by Jaden is represented by f(x) and that made by Joel is represented by g(x), then the two functions are given as

f(x) = 4x - 1 ....... (1)

and g(x) = 2x + 3 ....... (2)

Therefore, the function h(x) that represents the total number of cups of coffee they both have made is given by

h(x) = f(x) + g(x) = (4x - 1) + (2x + 3) = 6x + 2 (Answer)
