Answer: Choice A. [tex]-x^2+2x+8[/tex]
Work Shown:
[tex](f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)\\\\(f - g)(x) = (2x+1) - (x^2-7)\\\\(f - g)(x) = 2x+1 - x^2+7\\\\(f - g)(x) = -x^2+2x+(1+7)\\\\(f - g)(x) = -x^2+2x+8\\\\[/tex]
which shows the answer is choice A.
Side note: be sure to distribute the negative to every term inside the second set of parenthesis. So you wouldn't say -(x^2-7) = -x^2-7. If you did this error, then you'd get to the wrong answer choice C.
