\(\mathsf{ f(x) = 6 + 2x^4 + 7a - 6a^2 }\)
\(\mathsf{ g(x) = a^4+5a^2-6a^3 + 2 }\)
What is \(\mathsf{ (f+g)(x)}\)?

  1. \(\mathsf{ (f+g)(x) = 2a^4-6a^3-11a^2+7a+8 }\)
  2. \(\mathsf{ (f+g)(x) = -6a^3-11a^2+7a+8 }\)

Did you remember to add like terms from the two functions?

\(\mathsf{ f(x) = 6 + 2x^4 + 7a - 6a^2 }\)
\(\mathsf{ g(x) = a^4+5a^2-6a^3 + 2 }\)
What is \(\mathsf{ (f-g)(x)}\)?

  1. \(\mathsf{ (f-g)(x) = 3a^4-6a^3-a^2-7a+4 }\)
  2. \(\mathsf{ (f-g)(x) = -6a^3-11a^2+7a+8 }\)

This time you needed to switch the signs of the g(x) function—and then add like terms from the two functions.
