Answer:
[tex](h - g)( - 2) = 18[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) = x² - 2x - 6
h(x) = 2x² - 5x + 2
To find (h-g) (-2) we must first find h - g(x)
To find h - g(x) subtract g(x) from h(x)
We have
[tex](h - g)(x) = {2x}^{2} - 5x + 2 - ( {x}^{2} - 2x - 6) \\ = {2x}^{2} - 5x + 2 - {x}^{2} + 2x + 6 \\ = {2x}^{2} - {x}^{2} - 5x + 2x + 2 + 6[/tex]
[tex](h - g)(x) = {x}^{2} - 3x + 8[/tex]
To find (h-g) (-2) substitute the value of x that's - 2 into (h - g)(x) that's replace every x in (h - g)(x) by - 2
That's
[tex](h - g)( - 2) = ({ - 2})^{2} - 3( - 2) + 8 \\ = 4 + 6 + 8 \\ = 10 + 8[/tex]
We have the final answer as
[tex](h - g)( - 2) = 18[/tex]
Hope this helps you
