If f(x) = –x2 + 3x + 5 and g(x) = x2 + 2x, which graph shows the graph of (f + g)(x)?




Answer:
The answer is
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the graph which shows (f + g)(x) we must first find (f + g)(x)
That's
f(x) = - x² + 3x + 5
g(x) = x² + 2x
To find (f + g)(x) add g(x) to f(x)
That's
(f + g)(x) = -x² + 3x + 5 + x² + 2x
Group like terms
(f + g)(x) = - x² + x² + 3x + 2x + 5
We have (f + g)(x) as
(f + g)(x) = 5x + 5
Since (f + g)(x) is linear the graph which shows (f + g)(x) is the last graph
