if f(x)=-5^x-4 and g(x)=-3x-2, find (f-g)(x)

Answer 1

If you want to solve for f(x) - g(x) you first need to setup the problem as:

(-5^x-4) - (-3x-2)

multiply the subtraction sign to each term of g(x) to create a single expression

-5^x - 4 + 3x + 2

once you have this expression, combine like terms to get the final answer

-5^x + 3x - 2

this equation cannot be simplified any further so this is your answer. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

f(x) - g(x) = -5^x - 4 - (-3x-2)

= -5^x - 4 + 3x + 2

= -5^x + 3x - 2 ----> answer
