Find

(i)  (f + g)(x)

(ii)  (f – g)(x)

and state the domain of each. Then evaluate f + g and f - g for the given value of x.

Problem 1 :

f(x) = -5x, g(x) = 19x; x = 16

Solution

Problem 2 :

f(x) = 2x, g(x) = -112x; x = -4

Solution

Problem 3 :

f(x) = 6x - 4x2 – 7x3, g(x) = 9x2 – 5x; x = -1

Solution

Problem 4 :

f(x) = 11x + 2x2 , g(x) = -7x – 3x2 + 4; x = 2

Solution

Answer Key

1)  (f + g)(16) = 14(2), (f - g)(16) = -48

Domain is all real values.

2)  (f + g)(-4) = -20, (f - g)(-4) = 24

Domain is all real values.

3)  (f + g)(-1) = 11, (f - g)(-1) = -7

Domain is all real values.

4)  (f + g)(2) = 8, (f - g)(2) = 52

Domain is all real values.

Problem 1 :

If f(x) = 2x - 6 and g(x) = x2 - 5x + 6, find f(x)/g(x).

Solution

Problem 2 :

If f(x) = -7x + 2 and g(x) = x3 + x2, find (g · f)(x).

Solution

Problem 3 :

If f(x) = 4x - 8 and g(x) = -x2 + 6x - 8; find the following.

i) f(x) · g(x)     ii) (g/f)(x)

Solution

Problem 4 :

If f(x) = 10x + 3 and g(x) = x + 15, find (f/g)(6).

Solution

Problem 5 :

If f(x) = -3x - 9 and g(x) = 5x2 + 1, find g(-3) · f(-3).

Solution

Problem 6 :

If f(x) = 5 - x and g(x) = 12 + 7x2; find the following.

i) (f · g)(-2)      ii) g(4)/f(4)

Solution

Problem 7 :

f(x) = 2x3 - 5x2 and g(x) = 2x - 1

Find (f  · g)(x).

Solution

Problem 8 :

g(t) = t² + 3 and h(t) = 4t - 3

Find (g · h)(-1)

Solution

Problem 9 :

g(a) = -3a2 - a and h(a) = -2a - 4

Find (g/h)(a)

Solution

Problem 10 :

f(x) = 3x - 1 and g(x) = x2 - x

Find (f/g)(x)

Solution

Answer Key

1) f(x)/g(x) = 2 / (x-2)

2)  (g · f)(x) = -7x4 - 5x3 + 2x2

3)  i)  f(x) · g(x) = -4(x3 - 8x2 + 20x + 16)

ii) (g/f)(x) = (x + 2)(x + 4)/(x - 2)

4)  (f/g)(6) = 3

5)  g(x) · f(x) = 0

6)  i)  (f · g)(-2) = 280    ii)  ii) g(4)/f(4) = 124

7)  (f  · g)(x) = 4x4 - 12x3 + 5x2

8)  (g · h)(t) = - 28

9)   (g/h)(a) = (a/2) (3a + 1)/ (a + 2)

10) (f/g)(x) = (3x - 1) / x (x - 1)
