Answer:

First, you learned (back in grammar school) that you can add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers. Then you learned that you can add, subtract, multiply, and divide polynomials. Now you will learn that you can also add, subtract, multiply, and divide functions. Performing these operations on functions is no more complicated than the notation itself. For instance, when they give you the formulas for two functions and tell you to find the sum, all they're telling you to do is add the two formulas. There's nothing more to this topic than that, other than perhaps some simplification of the expressions involved.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answers, all I have to do is apply the operations (plus, minus, times, and divide) that they tell me to, in the order that they tell me to.

(f + g)(x) = f (x) + g(x)

= [3x + 2] + [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 + 4 – 5x

= 3x – 5x + 2 + 4

= –2x + 6

(f – g)(x) = f (x) – g(x)

= [3x + 2] – [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 – 4 + 5x

= 3x + 5x + 2 – 4

= 8x – 2

(f  × g)(x) = [f (x)][g(x)]

= (3x + 2)(4 – 5x)

= 12x + 8 – 15x2 – 10x

= –15x2 + 2x + 8

\left(\small{\dfrac{f}{g}}\right)(x) = \small{\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}}(  

g

f

​  

)(x)=  

g(x)

f(x)

​  

 

= \small{\dfrac{3x+2}{4-5x}}=  

4−5x

3x+2

​  

 

My answer is the neat listing of each of my results, clearly labelled as to which is which.

( f + g ) (x) = –2x + 6

( f – g ) (x) = 8x – 2

( f  × g ) (x) = –15x2 + 2x + 8

\mathbf{\color{purple}{ \left(\small{\dfrac{\mathit{f}}{\mathit{g}}}\right)(\mathit{x}) = \small{\dfrac{3\mathit{x} + 2}{4 - 5\mathit{x}}} }}(  

g

f

​  

)(x)=  

4−5x

3x+2

The perimeter of a rectangular painting is 364cm . If the length of the painting is 96cm, what is its width?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The width would be 86cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is (Width*2) +(Length*2)

Length is 96, multiply by 2 : 96*2 = 192

Subtract this from the total perimeter (364-192 = 172)

Divide this by 2 to get 1 width value (172/2 = 86)

86 cm
