Answer:
[tex](f + g)(4) = 191[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]f(x) = 5x^2 - 5x + 15[/tex]
[tex]g(x) = 6x^2 + 7x - 8[/tex]
Required
[tex](f + g)(4)[/tex]
First, calculate [tex](f + g)(x)[/tex]
This is calculated as:
[tex](f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex](f + g)(x) = 5x^2 - 5x + 15+6x^2 + 7x - 8[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex](f + g)(x) = 5x^2 +6x^2 - 5x+ 7x + 15 - 8[/tex]
[tex](f + g)(x) = 11x^2 + 2x + 7[/tex]
Substitute 4 for x
[tex](f + g)(4) = 11*4^2 + 2*4 + 7[/tex]
[tex](f + g)(4) = 191[/tex]
