Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the two functions:
[tex]f(x)=\sqrt{x}+12\text{ and } g(x)=2\sqrt{x}[/tex]
And we want to find (f-g)(144).
This is the same thing to f(144)-g(144).
So, let’s determine the value of f(144) and g(144) first:
[tex]\begin{aligned} f(144)&=\sqrt{144}+12 \\ &=12+12 \\ &=24\end{aligned}[/tex]
And:
[tex]\begin{aligned} g(144)&=2\sqrt{144} \\ &=2(12) \\ &=24 \end{aligned}[/tex]
Hence:
[tex]\begin{aligned} (f-g)(144) &= f(144)-g(144) \\ &=24-24 \\ &=0 \end{aligned}[/tex]
Our final answer is 0.
