If f(x) = x²+2x and g(x) = x²−2x, what is (f−g)(−3)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: −12

The difference of two functions is defined pointwise: (f−g)(x) = f(x) − g(x). Substituting the given expressions gives (x²+2x) − (x²−2x). The minus sign applies to every term in the second parentheses, so this becomes x²+2x−x²+2x = 4x. Now evaluate at x = −3: (f−g)(−3) = 4(−3) = −12. Hence option A is correct. A direct check gives f(−3) = 9−6 = 3 and g(−3) = 9+6 = 15, so f(−3)−g(−3) = 3−15 = −12 as well. Option B results from reversing the subtraction, C from incorrectly cancelling the entire difference, and D from incomplete substitution. The governing concept is pointwise subtraction of functions.
