Understanding Functions and Algebraic Simplification

The video tutorial explains how to find the difference between two functions, g(x) and f(x). It begins by introducing the functions and the task of finding g - f of x. The tutorial then explains the notation and proceeds to simplify the expression algebraically. The final result of the simplification is x squared plus three.

What is the expression for f(x) as given in the video?

• 5x - 4

• 2x + 5

• 2x * sqrt(5) - 4

• x^2 + 2x

What is the expression for g(x) as described in the video?

• x^2 + 2x * sqrt(5) - 1

• x^2 - 2x + 5

• 2x * sqrt(5) - 4

• x^2 + 5

What does the notation g(x) - f(x) represent?

• The division of g(x) by f(x)

• The difference between g(x) and f(x)

• The sum of g(x) and f(x)

• The product of g(x) and f(x)

What is the first step in simplifying g(x) - f(x)?

• Add the expressions

• Subtract the expressions

• Multiply the expressions

• Divide the expressions

What happens when you distribute the negative sign in the expression?

• The terms are added

• The terms are multiplied

• The terms remain unchanged

• The signs of the terms are reversed

What is the result of subtracting 2x * sqrt(5) from 2x * sqrt(5)?

• x^2

What is the final constant term in the expression g(x) - f(x)?

• 1

• 2

• 4

• 3

Which term cancels out during the simplification process?

• 3

• 2x * sqrt(5)

• x^2

• 4
