(Solution)
(r-s)(3) = -2
(Step-by-Step)
R(x) = x + 3 \quad \text{and} \quad S(x) = 4x + 1
(r+s)(x) = R(x) + S(x) = (x + 3) + (4x + 1) = 5x + 4
(r \cdot s)(x) = R(x) \cdot S(x) = (x + 3)(4x + 1) = 4x^2 + x + 12x + 3 = 4x^2 + 13x + 3
\text{To evaluate } (r-s)(3):
(r-s)(x) = R(x) - S(x) = (x + 3) - (4x + 1) = x + 3 - 4x - 1 = -3x + 2
(r-s)(3) = -3(3) + 2 = -9 + 2 = -7
