Answer:
C) [tex]g(x)-f(x)=x^2 + 2x -5-\frac{1}{x}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{1}{x} \ g(x) = x^2 + 2x -5[/tex]
To find (g-f)(x) , we need to calculate g(x) - f(x)
WE know f(x) = 1/x and g(x) = x^2 + 2x -5
Plug in g(x) and f(x) and then subtract
[tex]g(x)-f(x)=x^2 + 2x -5- (\frac{1}{x})[/tex]
All are unlike terms so we cannot combine like terms
[tex]g(x)-f(x)=x^2 + 2x -5-\frac{1}{x}[/tex]
