Find(f+g)(x) for the following functions. f(x) = 12x2 + 7x + 2 g(x) = 9x + 7
12x2 + 16x + 2
21x3 + 14x + 2
12x2 + 16x + 9
21x2 + 14x + 2

(f + g)(x) = 12x² + 16x + 9 ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- We can add and subtract two function by adding and subtracting their

 like terms

Ex: If f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = 5 - 7x, then

     (f + g)(x) = 2x + 3 + 5 - 7x = 8 - 5x

     (f - g)(x) = 2x + 3 - (5 - 7x) = 2x + 3 - 5 + 7x = 9x - 2

* Lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = 12x² + 7x + 2

∵ g(x) = 9x + 7

- To find (f + g)(x) add their like terms

∴ (f + g)(x) = (12x² + 7x + 2) + (9x + 7)

∵ 7x and 9x are like terms

∵ 2 and 7 are like terms

∴ (f + g)(x) = 12x² + (7x + 9x) + (2 + 7)

∴ (f + g)(x) = 12x² + 16x + 9

* (f + g)(x) = 12x² + 16x + 9

For this case we have the following functions:

We must find

By definition we have to:

So:

We add similar terms:

i got 10.28 but that rounds up to 10.3
