f(x)

let f(x) = x + 3  and g(x) = x^2 + 1
find: (f-g)(3)

i did>
   f(x) = x + 3
- g(x) = x^2 + 1
----------------------------
(f-g)(x) = x+3-(x^2+1)
            = x - x^2 - 2
(f-g)(3) = 3 - 3^2 - 2
            = 3 - 9 - 2
            = -8
is the answer

Re: f(x)

you said f(x) = x+3, and g(x) = x^2 + 1, 3-1 = 2?
