Question

What is the answer, and how do I solve that equation in order to get my answer? I really want to get the hang of this.

Answer 1

-x^2+4x+6

Explanation:

f(x) = 4x+1

g(x) = x^2 - 5

(f-g) (x) = 4x+1 - ( x^2 - 5)

Distribute the minus sign

= 4x+1 - x^2 +5

Combine like terms

= -x^2+4x+6
