Transcribed Image Text:**Evaluate the following quantity for \( f(x) = x^2 + 2 \) and \( g(x) = x - 4 \).**
11) \( f(3) + g(-4) \)
---
To solve this, follow these steps:
1. Compute \( f(3) \):
- Substitute \( x = 3 \) into \( f(x) = x^2 + 2 \).
- \( f(3) = 3^2 + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11 \).
2. Compute \( g(-4) \):
- Substitute \( x = -4 \) into \( g(x) = x - 4 \).
- \( g(-4) = -4 - 4 = -8 \).
3. Add the results:
- \( f(3) + g(-4) = 11 + (-8) = 3 \).
Therefore, the value of \( f(3) + g(-4) \) is 3.
