Without using paper and pencil, evaluate each expression given the following functions. ƒ(x)=x+1ƒ(x)=x+1 and g(x)=x2g(x)=x^2
(ƒ+g)(2) (ƒ+g)(2)

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Understand that the notation \((\f+\g)(2)\) means you need to find the value of the function \((\f+\g)\) at \(x=2\). The function \((\f+\g)(x)\) is defined as \(\f(x) + \g(x)\).
Write the expression for \((\f+\g)(x)\) by adding the two given functions: \(\f(x) = x + 1\) and \(\g(x) = x^2\). So, \((\f+\g)(x) = (x + 1) + x^2\).
Substitute \(x = 2\) into the expression: \((\f+\g)(2) = (2 + 1) + 2^2\).
Simplify the terms inside the parentheses and the exponent: \((2 + 1) = 3\) and \(2^2 = 4\).
Add the simplified values together to get the final result: \(3 + 4\).

주요 개념

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

Function Notation and Evaluation

Function notation, such as ƒ(x), represents a rule that assigns each input x to an output. Evaluating a function at a specific value means substituting that value into the function's formula and simplifying to find the output.

Function Addition (Sum of Functions)

The sum of two functions (ƒ + g)(x) is defined as ƒ(x) + g(x). To evaluate (ƒ + g)(2), you find ƒ(2) and g(2) separately, then add the results together.

Substitution and Simplification

Substitution involves replacing the variable x with a given number in the function's expression. Simplification means performing arithmetic operations to reduce the expression to a single numerical value.
