Exercise 13 Page 493

Substitute the given function rules into the expressions f(x)+g(x).

A

Practice makes perfect
We know that f(x)=5 sqrt(x^2) and g(x)=3 sqrt(x^2). To perform the addition, we should substitute the given function rules for f(x) and g(x).
f(x)=g(x)
5 sqrt(x^2) + 3 sqrt(x^2)
(5+3) sqrt(x^2)
8 sqrt(x^2)
This corresponds to answer A.
