If g(x)= x ² + 5 find g(a+1) - g(a-1)

Answers 1

Answer:

4a

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = x² + 5

g(a + 1) = (a + 1)² + 5

          = (a)² + (1) + 2(a)(1) + 5

          = a² + 1 + 2a + 5

          = a² + 2a + 6

g(a - 1) = (a - 1)² + 5

           = (a)² + (1)² - 2(a)(1) + 5

           = a² + 1 - 2a + 5

           = a² - 2a + 6

  g(a + 1) - g(a - 1)

= (a² + 2a + 6) - (a² - 2a + 6)

= a² + 2a + 6 - a² + 2a - 6

= a² - a² + 2a + 2a + 6 - 6

= 4a

And with that, have a great day!
