QuestionOperate the functions: f(x)=x1f(x)=x-1, g(x)=x21g(x)=x^{2}-1, h(x)=3x22x1h(x)=3x^{2}-2x-1. Find (g+h)(x)(g+h)(x), (hf)(x)(h-f)(x), (fh)(x)(f-h)(x).

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The functions are defined as follows - f(x)=x1f(x) = x -1 - g(x)=x1g(x) = x^{} -1 - h(x)=3xx1h(x) =3x^{} -x -1
. The operations to be performed are addition and subtraction of functions.

STEP 2

To find (g+h)(x)(g+h)(x), we need to add the functions g(x)g(x) and h(x)h(x).
(g+h)(x)=g(x)+h(x)(g+h)(x) = g(x) + h(x)

STEP 3

Substitute the given functions into the equation.
(g+h)(x)=(x21)+(3x22x1)(g+h)(x) = (x^{2} -1) + (3x^{2} -2x -1)

STEP 4

Combine like terms.
(g+h)(x)=4x22x2(g+h)(x) =4x^{2} -2x -2

STEP 5

To find (hf)(x)(h-f)(x), we need to subtract the function f(x)f(x) from h(x)h(x).
(hf)(x)=h(x)f(x)(h-f)(x) = h(x) - f(x)

STEP 6

Substitute the given functions into the equation.
(hf)(x)=(3x22x1)(x1)(h-f)(x) = (3x^{2} -2x -1) - (x -1)

STEP 7

istribute the negative sign and combine like terms.
(hf)(x)=3x23x(h-f)(x) =3x^{2} -3x

STEP 8

To find (fh)(x)(f-h)(x), we need to subtract the function h(x)h(x) from f(x)f(x).
(fh)(x)=f(x)h(x)(f-h)(x) = f(x) - h(x)

STEP 9

Substitute the given functions into the equation.
(fh)(x)=(x)(3x22x)(f-h)(x) = (x -) - (3x^{2} -2x -)

STEP 10

istribute the negative sign and combine like terms.
(fh)(x)=3x2+3x(f-h)(x) = -3x^{2} +3xSo, the results are. (g+h)(x)=4x22x2(g+h)(x) =4x^{2} -2x -2
2. (hf)(x)=3x23x(h-f)(x) =3x^{2} -3x
3. (fh)(x)=3x2+3x(f-h)(x) = -3x^{2} +3x
