# Quadratic Equations and Functions: Sum, Difference, and Product of Two Functions

Suppose that the functions \( f \) and \( g \) are defined for all real numbers \( x \) as follows:

\[ f(x) = x^3 \]
\[ g(x) = 5x^2 \]

Write the expressions for \( (f+g)(x) \) and \( (f \cdot g)(x) \) and evaluate \( (f-g)(-1) \).

### Tasks
1. Calculate \( (f+g)(x) \).
2. Calculate \( (f \cdot g)(x) \).
3. Evaluate \( (f-g)(-1) \).

### Input Fields
- \( (f+g)(x) = \) [________]
- \( (f \cdot g)(x) = \) [________]
- \( (f-g)(-1) = \) [________]

### Interactivity
