If f(x) = 5x + 2 and g(x) = 2x − 7, what is (f − g)(1)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 12

The governing concept is subtraction of functions, which is defined pointwise: (f − g)(x) = f(x) − g(x). It is not function composition, so the two given expressions should first be evaluated at the same input. At x = 1, f(1) = 5(1) + 2 = 7, while g(1) = 2(1) − 7 = −5. Hence (f − g)(1) = f(1) − g(1) = 7 − (−5) = 7 + 5 = 12. Therefore option A is correct. The negative sign in g(1) is important: subtracting −5 is equivalent to adding 5. Option B could arise from ignoring the negative sign, whereas the other choices do not follow the definition of pointwise function subtraction.
