Problem

Suppose that the functions $f$ and $g$ are defined for all real numbers $x$ as follows. \[ \begin{array}{l} f(x)=6 x \\ g(x)=4 x-2 \end{array} \] Write the expressions for $(f-g)(x)$ and $(f \cdot g)(x)$ and evaluate $(f+g)(3)$.

Solution

Step 1 :First, we write the expressions for $(f-g)(x)$ and $(f \cdot g)(x)$.

Step 2 :$(f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) = 6x - (4x - 2) = 6x - 4x + 2 = 2x + 2$

Step 3 :$(f \cdot g)(x) = f(x) \cdot g(x) = 6x \cdot (4x - 2) = 24x^2 - 12x$

Step 4 :Next, we evaluate $(f+g)(3)$.

Step 5 :$(f+g)(3) = f(3) + g(3) = 6 \cdot 3 + 4 \cdot 3 - 2 = 18 + 12 - 2 = \boxed{28}$
