The Deep Dive
To find \( f + g \), \( f - g \), \( fg \), and \( \frac{l}{g} \), we start with the given functions: \[ f(x) = \frac{3x + 8}{x^2 - 81}, \quad g(x) = \frac{2x - 1}{x^2 - 81} \] The common denominator for both functions is \( x^2 - 81 \), which factors to \( (x - 9)(x + 9) \). The domain for \( f \) and \( g \) excludes the values that make the denominator zero, so we set the denominator to zero: \[ x^2 - 81 = 0 \implies x = 9 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -9 \] Thus, the domain of both \( f \) and \( g \) is \( \mathbb{R} \setminus \{-9, 9\} \), which in interval notation is: \[ (-\infty, -9) \cup (-9, 9) \cup (9, \infty) \] Now let's compute the required functions: 1. **For \( f + g \)**: \[ f + g = \frac{(3x + 8) + (2x - 1)}{x^2 - 81} = \frac{5x + 7}{x^2 - 81} \] The domain remains the same as \( f \) and \( g \): A. The domain of \( f + g \) is \( (-\infty, -9) \cup (-9, 9) \cup (9, \infty) \). B. The domain of \( f + g \) is \( \{-9, 9\} \). C. The domain of \( f + g \) is \( \varnothing \). 2. **For \( f - g \)**: \[ f - g = \frac{(3x + 8) - (2x - 1)}{x^2 - 81} = \frac{x + 9}{x^2 - 81} \] To check for domain restrictions, we again find the values that make the denominator zero, which are still \( -9 \) and \( 9 \): A. The domain of \( f - g \) is \( (-\infty, -9) \cup (-9, 9) \cup (9, \infty) \). B. The domain of \( f - g \) is \( \{-9, 9\} \). C. The domain of \( f - g \) is \( \varnothing \). 3. **For \( fg \)**: \[ fg = f \cdot g = \frac{(3x + 8)(2x - 1)}{(x^2 - 81)^2} \] Here, we can multiply the numerators and keep the previous denominator. Finally, for \( \frac{l}{g} \), we're not provided with \( l \) in this context. In conclusion, the functions and their domains are as follows: - \( f + g \) and \( f - g \) maintain the same domain of \( (-\infty, -9) \cup (-9, 9) \cup (9, \infty) \). - The product \( fg \) also retains the same domain. - \( \frac{l}{g} \) requires further context about \( l \) to proceed.
