Use the table to evaluate each expression, if possible.
(fg)(3)(f-g)(3)
Table showing values of x with corresponding f(x) and g(x) for evaluating function expressions like (f−g)(3).

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the functions \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) from the given table. Locate the values of \( f(3) \) and \( g(3) \) by finding the row where \( x = 3 \).
Recall the definition of the operation \( (f - g)(x) \), which means subtracting the value of \( g(x) \) from \( f(x) \). Mathematically, this is written as \( (f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) \).
Substitute \( x = 3 \) into the expression to get \( (f - g)(3) = f(3) - g(3) \).
Using the values found in step 1, plug in \( f(3) \) and \( g(3) \) into the expression \( f(3) - g(3) \).
Perform the subtraction to find the value of \( (f - g)(3) \), if both \( f(3) \) and \( g(3) \) are defined in the table.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Function Operations

Function operations involve combining two functions using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. In this case, (f - g)(x) means subtracting the value of g(x) from f(x) for a given input x. Understanding how to perform these operations is essential to evaluate expressions like (f - g)(3).

Evaluating Functions from a Table

When functions are given in a table, you find the function's value at a specific input by locating the input in the table and reading the corresponding output. This skill is necessary to find f(3) and g(3) before performing any operations on them.

Domain Considerations

The domain of a function is the set of input values for which the function is defined. Before evaluating (f - g)(3), it is important to verify that both f and g are defined at x = 3. If either function is undefined at this point, the expression cannot be evaluated.
