Question

If f(x) = 3 – 2x and g(x)=1/x+5, what is the value of (f/g)(8)? –169 –1 13 104

Answer 1

–169

Explanation:

(f/g)(x) = ( 3 – 2x ) / (1 / x+5)

(f/g)(8) = (3 - 16)/(1/13)

(f/g)(8) = = -13 * 13

(f/g)(8) = - 169

Answer 2

Answer: -169

Explanation:

Given functions:
`f(x)=3-2x\text{ and } g(x)=(1)/(x+5)`

The quotient function (f/g) is given by :_

`(f/g)(x)=(f(x))/(g(x))\\\\\Rightarrow (f/g)(x)=(3-2x)/((1)/(x+5))`

At x = 8 , we have

`(f/g)(8)=(3-2(8))/((1)/(8+5))\\\\\Rightarrow\ (f/g)(8)=(-13)/((1)/(13))\\\\\Rightarrow\ (f/g)(8)=-13*13=-169`

Hence, the value of
`(f/g)(8)=-169`
