Question

Given the following functions f(x) and g(x), solve f over g (−5) and select the correct answer below:f(x) = 2x − 20g(x) = x − 1a. -5b. 5c. 1/6d. 30

Answer 1

(f/g)(-5) = 5

Explanation:

You mean, "determine the value of (f/g)(x) at x = -5."

That would be:

f(x) 2x - 20

------- = ------------ and we now substitute -5 for x:

g(x) x - 1

2(-5) - 20 -30

(f/g)(-5) = --------------- = -------- = 5

-5 -1 -6
