Vocaloid (vocaloid):

not quite, lets start from the beginning if f(x) = x - 4, then what is f(5)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be f(5)=x-4

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

well, yes, but what does x - 4 equal if x is 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it equals 1

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good. now what is g(6) if g(x) = 3x + 6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

g(6) = 3(6) + 6

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

and that equals..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

oh crap, meant to ask for g(1), not g(6) if g(x) = 3x + 6, what is g(1)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

g(1) = 3(1) + 6 = 9

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good. now we add f(5) + g(1) to get 1 + 9 = 10 ready to keep going?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good. so if f(x) = x - 4, what is f(6)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(6) =6 - 4 = 2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good now if g(x) = 3x + 6 what is g(-2)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

g(-2) = 3(-2) + 6 = 0

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i am

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we cancel the like terms

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but dont we also cancle the x next to the four?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

right

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

should be 4/5x^2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

i cant tell if the next one is supposed to be f(x) times g(x) or f(g(x))

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its times

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

ok then i think the rest of your answers are good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ty so much if i need anymore answers checked may i tag you?
