$$ g(a)=a^{2}-4 $$ $$ h(a)=4 a-3 $$ Find $$ (g+h)(a) $$

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To find $$ (g + h)(a) $$, you simply add the functions $$ g(a) $$ and $$ h(a) $$:

$$
\begin{align*}
g(a) &= a^2 - 4, \
h(a) &= 4a - 3.
\end{align*}
$$

Adding them together:

$$
(g + h)(a) = g(a) + h(a) = (a^2 - 4) + (4a - 3).
$$

Combine like terms:

$$
(g + h)(a) = a^2 + 4a - 7.
$$

**Final Answer:**
$$
(g + h)(a) = a^2 + 4a - 7
$$
$$ (g + h)(a) = a^2 + 4a - 7 $$

\( g(a)=a^{2}-4 \) \( h(a)=4 a-3 \) Find \( (g+h)(a) \)
