Define functions FF and GG from R\mathbf { R } to R\mathbf { R } by the following formulas: F(x)=(x+1)(x−3) and G(x)=(x−2)2−7.F ( x ) = ( x + 1 ) ( x - 3 ) \quad \text { and } \quad G ( x ) = ( x - 2 ) ^ { 2 } - 7 . Does F=GF = G ? Explain.

F≠GF \neq G . Note that for every real number xx ,
G(x)=(x−2)2−7=x2−4x+4−7=x2−4x−3G ( x ) = ( x - 2 ) ^ { 2 } - 7 = x ^ { 2 } - 4 x + 4 - 7 = x ^ { 2 } - 4 x - 3
whereas
F(x)=(x+1)(x−3)=x2−2x−3F ( x ) = ( x + 1 ) ( x - 3 ) = x ^ { 2 } - 2 x - 3 . Thus, for instance,
F(1)=(1+1)(1−3)=−4 whereas G(1)=(1−2)2−7=−6F ( 1 ) = ( 1 + 1 ) ( 1 - 3 ) = - 4 \quad \text { whereas } \quad G ( 1 ) = ( 1 - 2 ) ^ { 2 } - 7 = - 6
