Subtract the given functions and indicate the domain difference

Transcribed Image Text:The image displays mathematical functions which are defined as follows:
\( f(x) = x^2 + 3x + 1 \)
and
\( g(x) = 2x^2 - 4x - 1 \)
These are both quadratic functions.
1. **Function \( f(x) \):**
- It is a quadratic function with coefficients: \( a = 1 \), \( b = 3 \), and \( c = 1 \).
- The equation can be expressed in the standard form \( ax^2 + bx + c \).
2. **Function \( g(x) \):**
- This is also a quadratic function but with different coefficients: \( a = 2 \), \( b = -4 \), and \( c = -1 \).
- It also follows the standard form of a quadratic equation \( ax^2 + bx + c \).
Quadratic functions create parabolas when graphed on a coordinate plane. Analyzing these functions can provide insights into their vertex, axis of symmetry, and roots (or zeroes).
