OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
(f/g)(x) = f(x) / g(x)
OpenStudy (hunt123):
that would be x^/25, x/5
what do i do with these
OpenStudy (hunt123):
x^2/25
OpenStudy (hunt123):
would it be 4
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
f(x) / g(x) = (25-x^2) / x+5

OpenStudy (hunt123):
5-x
OpenStudy (hunt123):
is should be 5-x yes or no
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
the numerator : 25-x^2
is a difference of squares
A difference of square can be expressed as
a^2-x^2 = (a-x)(a+x)
because (a-x)(a+x) = a(a+x)-x(a+x)
= a^2+ax-ax+x^2
= a^2-x^2
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
yes
OpenStudy (hunt123):
now is that in the simplest term?

OpenStudy (hunt123):
or do i have to do -x+5
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
yeah the denominator has divided away
OpenStudy (hunt123):
the end answer would be 5-x
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
5-x, or -x+5
i prefer the first arrangement, some people might like the other one better
the main point is that we got rid of that demoninator
OpenStudy (hunt123):
okay i might have a few more ill need help on

(f + g)(2)
(f − g)(4)
(f ÷ g)(2)
(f × g)(1)
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
you can add the functions and then evaluate with x=2,
or evaluate the functions with x=2 and then add.

it might be easiest to find
(f + g)(2) as f(2) + g(2)
OpenStudy (hunt123):
that would be 4
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
f(2) = 25 - (2)^2
OpenStudy (hunt123):
?
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
are the f and g the same as for the original question?

If f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = x2 − 1, find the values of combining these functions. Match each combined function to its corresponding value.
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
oh right
OpenStudy (hunt123):
thats what everything needs to plug into
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
so you have
(f+g)(2) = f(2)+g(2)
f(x) = 2x + 3
g(x) = x^2 − 1
f(2) = 2(2) + 3
g(2) = (2)^2 − 1
OpenStudy (hunt123):
im so lost right now how will we plug the stuff in tho

will pair up with these

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
we pluged in x=2 into f(x) = 2x + 3
we got f(2) = 2(2) + 3
= 2 × 2 + 3
=
OpenStudy (hunt123):
7
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
yeha,
now we plug
x=2 into g(x) = x^2 - 1
we got g(2) = 2^2 - 1
=

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
almost
OpenStudy (hunt123):
7 as well no it would be 6
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
g(2) = 2^2 - 1
= 4 - 1
=
OpenStudy (hunt123):
3
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
so f(2) = 7, and g(2) = 3
(f+g)(2) = f(2)+g(2)
= 7+3

ok. next!
(f − g)(4)
OpenStudy (hunt123):
hold on which one = 10?
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
yes 10 is 10
OpenStudy (hunt123):
(f + g)(2)
(f − g)(4)
(f ÷ g)(2)
(f × g)(1) which one of thos = 10

We plug x=4 into f(x) = 2x + 3
we get f(4) = 2(4) + 3
= 2 × 4 + 3
=
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
oh the one we just did was (f + g)(2), right?
OpenStudy (hunt123):
okay on to the next one

is the answer to what you asked

and what is g(4)?
OpenStudy (hunt123):
gonna have to go through the steps im sorry
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
plug x=4, into g(x)

cause if g(x)=x^-1 it would be 4*2-1
OpenStudy (hunt123):
4*2=8-1=7
OpenStudy (hunt123):
?
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
g(x) = x^2 - 1
we get g(4) = 4^2 - 1
= 4 * 4 - 1

can we do the next two as well please

next will be 5
OpenStudy (hunt123):
so 7/5 right
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
wait
g(x) = x^2 − 1
