Find (f + g)(x).

OpenStudy (ashking1):

\[ g= \sqrt{6x-9} \]

OpenStudy (ashking1):

f=\[\sqrt{6x+9}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)\] Use this formula, everything else is given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what subject is this for?

OpenStudy (ashking1):

precal i think i got it is the answer 6x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe so.

OpenStudy (ashking1):

can you help me with one more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (ashking1):

Determine algebraically whether the function is even, odd, or neither even nor odd. f(x)= x+ 4/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the answer options just want to check

OpenStudy (ashking1):

even odd or neither

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x)= x+4/x in my opinion would be odd mainly because its the opposite of the 4/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

excuse me if im wrong i havent been studying this

OpenStudy (freckles):

(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x) don't know how you got 6x if really is that \[f(x)=\sqrt{6x+9} \text{ and } g(x)=\sqrt{6x-9}\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

just replace f(x) with sqrt(6x+9) and replace g(x) with sqrt(6x-9)

OpenStudy (freckles):

also to determine if a function is odd or even (or neither odd or even) the first step is to plug in -x

OpenStudy (freckles):

if you receive f(-x)=f(x), then f is even if you receive f(-x)=-f(x), then f is odd

OpenStudy (ashking1):

so it would be odd am i correct

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[f(x)=x+\frac{4}{x} \\ \text{ plug \in } -x \\ f(-x)=-x+\frac{4}{-x} \\ f(-x)=-(x+\frac{4}{x}) \\ f(-x)=-f(x) \\ \text{ yep } f \text{ is odd } \\ \text{ unless you meant } f(x)=\frac{x+4}{x} \\ \text{ then the story is a bit different }\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

you would still plug in -x of course

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
