Can I get help to solve these three problems?

If f(x) = 3x and g(x) = 3x - 1 and h(x) = -2x. find

1).

g(-2) - h(-2)

2).

f(1/6) / g(4)

3).

h(x) * g(x) * f(x)

    If f(x) = 3x and g(x) = 3x - 1 and h(x) = -2x,

    find

    13).

    g(-2) - h(-2)

    = -7 - 4

    = -11

    14).

    f(1/6) / g(4)

    = 1/2 / 11

    = 1/22

    15).

    h(x)*g(x)*f(x)

    = -2x(3x - 1)3x

    = 6x^2 - 18x^3

    = 6x^2(1 - 3x

    1). g(-2) - h(-2) 2). f(1/6) / g(4) 3). h(x) * g(x) * f(x)

    g(-2)= 3(-2) h(-2) = -2(-2) f(1/6) = 3(1/6) g(4) = 3(4) - 1 -2x * 3x-1 * 3x

    g(-2) = -6 h(-2) = 4 = 3/6 = 12 -1 18x-1

    f(1/6) = 1/2 g(4) = 11

    g(-2) - h(-2) f(1/6) / g(4)

    -6 - 4 (1/2) / (11)

    -6 - 4 = 10 22

    10

    These problems are really simple, so don't over think them.

    All you are doing is substituting the x value with a number.

    So, if:

    g(x) = 3x and h(x) = -2x

    And you want to find g(-2) - h(-2), that means substitute -2 for x:

    g(-2) = 3(-2) = -6

    h(-2) = -2(-2) = 4

    Now subtract them:

    g(-2) - h(-2)

    -6 - 4

    = -10

    See if you can do the others. Like I said, really easy, you can do it.

    f(x)= 3x, g(x)= 3x-1 , h(x) = - 2x

    1) g(-2) - h(-2) = {3(-2)-1} - { -2(-2)}

    ={(-6)-1} - 4 = - 7-4 = -(7+4) = - 11

    2) f(1/6) / g(4) ={ 3*(1/6)} / {(3*4)-1}

    = (1/2) / (12-1) = (1/2) / 11 =(1/2) * (1/11)

    =(1*1)/ (2*11) = 1/22

    3) h(x)*g(x) *f(x) = (-2x)*(3x-1)* 3x = -6x^2*(3x-1)

    ={ -6x^2 * 3x} -{ (-6x^2)*1}

    = - 18x^3 +6x^2 =6x^2-18x^3

    1)

    g(-2)= (3*-2) - 1=-7

    h(-2)= -2*(-2)=4

    g(-2) - h(-2)=-7-4=-11

    2)

    f(1/6) /g(4)

    =(3*1/6) / (3*4)-1

    =(1/2) / 11

    =1/22

    3)

    f(x)*g(x)*h(x)

    = (3x)*(3x-1)*(-2x)

    = -6x^2(3x-1)

    = -18x^3 + 6x^2

    = 6x^2-18x^3
