Beyond the Answer
To find \( f+g, f-g, g \), and \( \frac{f}{g} \): 1. **Addition**: \[ (f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = (5x + 8) + (x - 3) = 6x + 5 \] 2. **Subtraction**: \[ (f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) = (5x + 8) - (x - 3) = 4x + 11 \] 3. **Function \( g \)**: \[ g(x) = x - 3 \] 4. **Division**: \[ \frac{f}{g}(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \frac{5x + 8}{x - 3} \] Now, let's determine the domain for each function: - **Domain of \( f+g \)**: Since both \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) are defined for all real numbers, the domain is \( \mathbb{R} \) (or written as \( (-\infty, \infty) \)). - **Domain of \( f-g \)**: Similarly, the domain for \( f-g \) is also \( \mathbb{R} \). - **Domain of \( g \)**: The linear function \( g(x) \) also has the domain of \( \mathbb{R} \) since it doesn't have any restrictions. - **Domain of \( \frac{f}{g} \)**: This function is undefined where \( g(x) = 0 \), which occurs at \( x = 3 \). So, the domain is \( (-\infty, 3) \cup (3, \infty) \). The complete response for the domains is: - The domain of \( f+g \) is \( \{ x | x \in \mathbb{R} \} \). - For \( f-g \) and \( g \), it is also \( \{ x | x \in \mathbb{R} \} \) respectively. - The domain of \( \frac{f}{g} \) is \( \{ x | x \in \mathbb{R}, x \neq 3 \} \).
