Use fxx4 and gxx5 to find the following simplify your answer
Use f(x)=x+4 and g(x)=x+5 to find the following:
(simplify your answers)
a) (f+g)(x)=
b) (f-g)(x)=
c) (fg)(x)=
d) (f/g)(x)=
Solution
f(x) = x+4
g(x) = x+5
a) (f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
(f+g)(x) = x+4+x+5 = 2x + 9
b) (f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)
(f-g)(x) = x+4 - (x+5) = x+4 -x - 5 = -1
c) (fg)(x) = f(x)*g(x) = (x+4)(x+5) = x^2 +4x+5x+20 = x^2 +9x + 20
d) (f/g)(x) = f(x) / g(x) = (x+4) / (x+5)
