If (f(x)=3x^2-2) and (g(x)=x^2+4), what is the value of ((f+g)(-2))?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (18)

The direct answer is option A: \((f+g)(-2)=18\). Addition of functions means \((f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)\). First combine the formulas: \((3x^2-2)+(x^2+4)=4x^2+2\). Now substitute \(x=-2\): \((-2)^2=4\), so \(4(4)+2=16+2=18\). Option A is correct. Option B, 14, may result from an arithmetic mistake involving the constants; the constants actually give \(-2+4=2\). Option C, 20, does not follow from the correct substitution. Option D, 10, also comes from an incorrect calculation and is not the function sum. Remember that squaring a negative number gives a positive result: \((-2)^2=4\), not \(-4\). Memory cue: add the functions first, then substitute, and use parentheses around negative inputs.
