Let f(x) = 3x-6 and g(x)=x-2. Find f/g and its domain. A. 3; all real numbers B. 3; all real numbers except x=2 (my answer) C. 1; all real numbers D. -3; all real numbers except x=3

@phi @priyar

OpenStudy (priyar):

what is f/g (x) ?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

What do you mean?

OpenStudy (priyar):

ok...what is f(x)/g(x)

OpenStudy (liv1234):

3x-6 / x -2?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, but it's better to write (x-2) in the bottom

OpenStudy (priyar):

yes..and ur domain is correct (saw just now!)

OpenStudy (liv1234):

\[3x-6/(x-2)\]

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Wait, so are you saying my answer was correct?

OpenStudy (priyar):

yes!

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Ohh okay! Thank you!

OpenStudy (phi):

yes. We don't allow divide by 0, so we say x is not allowed to be 2

OpenStudy (priyar):

u r welcome!

OpenStudy (deepolisnoob):

f(x) = 3x-6 and g(x)=x-2. Ok, so you have those 2 equations, and you're trying to find the domain of a new equation, f/g. You just plug those equations in for those letters, so you'll have... \[(3x-6)/(x-2)\] The domain would be equal to anything where the denominator isn't 0, and the only value when that is true is any point except 2, so all real numbers but 2 would be your domain.
