- $$f ( x ) = 16 - x ^ { 2 } ; g ( x ) = 4 - x$$
Find $f + g$ .

• A) \(( f + g ) ( x ) = x ^ { 3 } - 4 x ^ { 2 } - 16 x + 64\); all real numbers
• B) \(( f + g ) ( x ) = - x ^ { 2 } - x + 20 ; \{ x \mid x \neq 4 , x \neq - 5 \}\)
• C) \(( f + g ) ( x ) = 4 + x ; \{ x \mid x \neq - 4 \}\)
• D) \(( f + g ) ( x ) = - x ^ { 2 } + x + 12 ;\) all real numbers
