Help with two problems..

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Given f(x)= 3+2/x and g(x)= 1/x find f_g, f-g, fg, and f/g. Determine the domain for each function.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I only need help with the last one. f/g. I got 3x+2/1 the system is telling me its correct but not fully simplified.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

@Nnesha

@IrishBoy123

Nnesha (nnesha):

f(x) divide by g(x) \[\huge\rm \frac{ \frac{ 3+2 }{ x } }{ \frac{ 1 }{ x } }\] now solve

Nnesha (nnesha):

combine like terms first and then multiply top with the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Sorry the site wouldnt load to let me back in..

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Huh? I have 3x+2/ 1

Nnesha (nnesha):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Destinyyyy Given f(x)= 3+2/x and g(x)= 1/x find f_g, f-g, fg, and f/g. Determine the domain for each function. \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) f(x) is 3+2/1

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

The 1 is under 3x+2

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I need to simplify that further so how.

Nnesha (nnesha):

well the question u posted above is f(x) = 3+2/x

Nnesha (nnesha):

please rewrite f(x) and f(x) function

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

What? f(x)= 3+ 2/x g(x)= 1/x some*

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

the x is only under the 2.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

3+ 2/x over 1/x * x/x = 3x+2 all over 1

Nnesha (nnesha):

alright \[\huge\rm \frac{ 3+\frac{ 2 }{ x } }{ \frac{ 1 }{ x } }\] equal \[\frac{\frac{ 3x+2 }{ x } }{ \frac{ 1 }{ x } } = \frac{ 3x+2 }{ x } \times \frac{ x }{ 1 } = 3x+2\] that's it

Nnesha (nnesha):

that's simplified !

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Alright. Thank you. For f(x)= 2x-5 and g(x)= 4x^2 -4 D. (g*f)(1)

Nnesha (nnesha):

according to the previous post i guess * means compose like (g o f)(1) so first find f(1) substitute x for 1 into f(x) function or in other words you have to find g(f(1))

Nnesha (nnesha):

but if it's a multiplication sign then it would be f(1) times g(1)

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yes the o thing.

Nnesha (nnesha):

ye thats what i asked n the previous post (f * g)(x) isn't same as (f o g)(x) ^multiplication ^substitution

Nnesha (nnesha):

( g o f)(1) = g -compose -f of 1

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yeah sorry about that. Its super tiny on my screen so I assumed it was *

Nnesha (nnesha):

its okay :=)

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Nnesha (nnesha):

so for this question find (g o f )(1) = g(f(1)) substitute x for 1 into f(x) function then plugin the result into g(x) function

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

The picture shows the example I have.

Nnesha (nnesha):

alright so in the example first they solvved g(f(x) and then sub x for 1

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

So 4(2x-5)^2 -4 ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

looks good

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

That all turns into 16x^2 -80x +96

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

And I just plug 1 in for x correct?

Nnesha (nnesha):

alright i'll trust the calculator yes right now replace x with 1

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Final answer 32

Nnesha (nnesha):

right

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Thank you.

Nnesha (nnesha):
