f(x) = 2x - 1; G(x) = 3x + 2; H(x) = x^2

Find f(x) + G(x) + H(x)

Answer is x^2 + 5x + 1.
can someone explain the problem to me please <3


////////////Oh I see now, I was putting the wrong sign in that's why I was'nt getting it, my carless mistakes D:! please forgive D:

f(x) + G(x) + H(x) = (2x - 1) + G(x) + H(x).

Can you take it from there?
 


No worries! Let's break down the problem. The given equation is f(x) + G(x) + H(x) = x^2 + 5x + 1. This means that we need to combine the functions f(x), G(x), and H(x) to get the final result of x^2 + 5x + 1.

First, let's substitute the given values for f(x), G(x), and H(x) into the equation: (2x-1) + (3x+2) + (x^2) = x^2 + 5x + 1. Now we can simplify the equation by combining like terms. We have 2x + 3x + x^2 - 1 + 2 = x^2 + 5x + 1. This gives us a simplified equation of x^2 + 5x + 1 = x^2 + 5x + 1. As you can see, the final result is the same as the given equation, which means that our answer is correct!

I hope this explanation helps. Remember to always double check your signs and terms when solving equations. Keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it!
