The Deep Dive
To tackle the problems step by step, we start with each question regarding the functions \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \). 1. **Finding \( f(x) + g(x) \)**: The functions provided are: \[ f(x) = x^{2} + 3x - 5 \] \[ g(x) = 5x + 2 \] To find \( f(x) + g(x) \), we simply add the two functions together: \[ f(x) + g(x) = (x^{2} + 3x - 5) + (5x + 2) \] Now combine like terms: \[ f(x) + g(x) = x^{2} + (3x + 5x) + (-5 + 2) = x^{2} + 8x - 3 \] 2. **Finding \( g(x)^{*} g(x) \)**: The asterisk notation \( g(x)^{*} g(x) \) typically represents that we need to find the product of \( g(x) \) with itself: \[ g(x)^{*} g(x) = (5x + 2)(5x + 2) \] Using the distributive property (or FOIL): \[ = 25x^2 + 20x + 4 \] 3. **Finding \( f(g(-2)) \)**: First, evaluate \( g(-2) \): \[ g(-2) = 5(-2) + 2 = -10 + 2 = -8 \] Now substitute \( -8 \) into \( f(x) \): \[ f(-8) = (-8)^{2} + 3(-8) - 5 \] Calculate each term: \[ = 64 - 24 - 5 = 64 - 29 = 35 \] Thus, we have: \[ f(g(-2)) = 35 \] In summary: 1. \( f(x) + g(x) = x^{2} + 8x - 3 \) 2. \( g(x)^{*} g(x) = 25x^2 + 20x + 4 \) 3. \( f(g(-2)) = 35 \)
