not quite, lets start from the beginning if f(x) = x - 4, then what is f(5)?
would it be f(5)=x-4
well, yes, but what does x - 4 equal if x is 5?
it equals 1
good. now what is g(6) if g(x) = 3x + 6?
g(6) = 3(6) + 6
and that equals..?
24
oh crap, meant to ask for g(1), not g(6) if g(x) = 3x + 6, what is g(1)?
g(1) = 3(1) + 6 = 9
good. now we add f(5) + g(1) to get 1 + 9 = 10 ready to keep going?
yes
good. so if f(x) = x - 4, what is f(6)?
f(6) =6 - 4 = 2
good now if g(x) = 3x + 6 what is g(-2)?
g(-2) = 3(-2) + 6 = 0
good so the denominator is 2 - 0 = 2 and the numerator is 10, like we figured out before so our answer is 10/2 = 5 ready for the next?
yes i am
if f(x) = 4x and g(x) = 5x^3 then to get f(x)/g(x) we just divide 4x/5x^3 know what do to with the exponents?
we cancel the like terms
you're on the right track but keep in mind that x^3 = x*x*x so it becomes 4*x/5*x*x*x we cancel out one of the x's to get 4x/5x^2 is that clear?
yes but dont we also cancle the x next to the four?
right
should be 4/5x^2
i cant tell if the next one is supposed to be f(x) times g(x) or f(g(x))
if it's f(x) times g(x) then it's right, but if it's f(g(x)) then we need to redo it
no its times
ok then i think the rest of your answers are good
ok ty so much if i need anymore answers checked may i tag you?
