Given the functions f(x) = 3x + 2 - 4/x and g(x) = 2 - 3x , find the indicated values.
a) f(a+b)= 3(a+b) + 2 - 4/(a+b) = [3(a+b)^2 + 2(a+b) - 4]/(a+b)
= [3a^2 + 6ab + 3b^2 + 2a + 2b]/(a+b)

b) g(a) - g(a-b) + f(a)
[2-3a - [2-3(a-b)] + [3a+2]
=====
= 2-3a-[2-3a+3b] + 3a+2
------
= 2-3a-2+3a-3b+3a+2
-----------------------
= 3a -3b +2
