If f(x) = 4x^2 and g(x) = x + 1, find (f - g) (x)

4x² - x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) , thus

f(x) - g(x)

= 4x² - (x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1

= 4x² - x - 1

part a

x     y

0     8

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y
