Question 97374: f(x)=3x-10 and g(x)=3x+7
(a) g(-1) (b) f(1)-g(2)
this is an example of a quiz question, I don,t
understand what i'm solving for? we are working with slope, domain, range,function, I know he is not asking for a graph.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x)=3x-10 and g(x)=3x+7
(a) g(-1) (b) f(1)-g(2)
g(x)=3x+7
replace x by -1
g(-1)= 3*-1 + 7
=-3+7
= 4
now f(x) = 3x-10
f(1) = 3*1 -10
=3-7
=-4
again,
g(2)= 3*2 + 7
=6 +7
=13
f(1) - g(2)
= -4 -13 substituting the values of f(1) and g(2) from above
= -17

f(x)=3x-10 and g(x)=3x+7
(a) g(-1) = 3(-1)+7 = -3+7 = 4
----------------
(b) f(1)-g(2) = [(3*1)-10] - [(3*2)+7] = [-7] - [13] = -20
