Let’s parse the question and what each option is claiming about the derivative representations of combinations of f and g.
Option a states: k(x) = f(x) − g(x) is correctly represented by the difference of f(x) and g(x).
- This is a standard linear combination: subtracting the two functions pointwise. The derivative rules confirm that the derivative of k is k'(x) = f'(x) − g'(x), which aligns with how a difference of functions behaves. There’s nothing contradictory here, so this representation is valid.
Option b states: h(x) = f(x) + g(x) is correctly represented as the sum of f(x) and g(x).
- This is the classic sum of two functions. The derivative of h is h'(x) = f'(x) + g'(x). Graphically and algebraically, adding the functions corresponds to adding their outputs for every x, so this representation is correct as well.
Option c states: All of the above are correct.
- If both a and b are correct, then this option would also be correct by logical necessity. However, to verify c independently you’d need to confirm both a and b hold, which we did above, so conceptually c follows from the correctness of a and b.
Option d states: m(x) = 2f(x) is correctly represented by doubling f(x).
- Doubling a function means scaling its outputs by 2: m(x) = 2 f(x). The derivative would be m'(x) = 2 f'(x). This is a standard linear scaling property of derivatives and is consistent with how function doubling behaves graphically and analytically.
In summary:
- Option a is correct because the difference of two functions is represented by subtracting their values pointwise, and its derivative follows the difference rule.
- Option b is correct because the sum of two functions is represented by adding their values pointwise, with the derivative following the sum rule.
- Option d is correct because multiplying a function by a constant (here 2) scales its graph accordingly, and the derivative scales by the same constant.
- Option c would be correct only if both a and b are correct, and given the standard definitions, they are, so c is a restatement that aligns with a and b.
Thus, each individual statement about basic algebraic composition and derivative rules aligns with fundamental calculus principles, and together they describe standard, valid representations of composed or scaled functions.
