The value of the sum, difference and composite function a[b(x)] are 19x - 8, -5x + 28 and 84x - 136 respectively
Given the following functions a(x) = 7x + 10 and b(x) = 12x - 18
Take the sum
(a+b)(x) = a(x) + b(x)
(a+b)(x) = 7x + 10 + 12x - 18
(a+b)(x) = 19x- 8
Take the difference
(a-b)(x) = a(x) - b(x)
(a-b)(x) = 7x + 10 - 12x + 18
(a-b)(x) = -5x + 28
For the composite function a[b(x)].
a(12x- 18) = 7(12x-18) - 10
a[b(x)] = 84x - 126 - 10
a[b(x)] = 84x - 136
Hence the value of the sum, difference and composite function a[b(x)] are 19x - 8, -5x + 28 and 84x - 136 respectively
