The function f(x) = 2x + 210 represents the number of calories burned when exercising, where x is the number of hours spent exercising.

The function g(x) = 2x + 125 represents the calorie deficit that occurs when following a particular diet, where x is the number of hours spent exercising.

What is (f + g)(3)? Explain.

347 calories burned while combining diet with 3 hours of exercise.
347 calories burned while dieting for 3 hours.
216 calories burned while exercising for 3 hours.
216 calorie calories burned when combining diet with 3 hours of exercise.

Hi,

f + g is a simple sum of the functions. This refers to increasing the good effect of exercise with diet effect, therefore more weight could be lost.

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = 2x + 210 + 2x + 125 = 4x + 335, so (f + g)(x) = 4x + 335.

For x = 3 (meaning 3 hours of exercise) we have:

(f + g)(3) = 4·3 + 335 = 12 + 335 = 347 calories, after 3 hours of exercice.

The correct answer is: 347 calories burned while combining diet with 3 hours of exercise.

Have you understood ?

Green eyes.

The combination (f + g)(3) represents 347 calories burned while combining diet with 3 hours of exercise.

The correct answer is (A).

Addition of Function:

The additive property of the function is distributive. Let f (x) and g(x) are two functions then the addition of  functions can be found as

f(x) + g(x) = (f + g) (x)

How to add the functions for any point?

Here we have given that

f (x) = 2x + 210 represent the number of calories burned when exercise

g (x) = 2x + 125 represent the calories deficit when particular diet

Addition these two function for x = 3

(f  +g) (3) = f (3) + g (3)

Now we can calculate f (3) by putting x = 3 into function f(x)

Also we can calculate g(3) by putting x = 3 into function g (x)

f (3) = 2(3)+ 210 = 216

g(3) = 2(3) + 125 = 131

Therefore

(f  +g) (3) = f (3) + g (3) = 216 + 131 = 347 calories burned.

This show that the combining result of diet as well exercise for 3 hours.

The correct answer is (A).
