The question is asking us to divide the function f(x) by the function g(x).

Knowing this, we can perform the division:
(2x+1)/(x^2-7) = (f/g)(x)
The simplest answer is
(2x+1)/( x^(2) - 7), as there is no way to further simplify the problem. This means that there is a discontinuity where
x = √(7), as it is impossible to divide by 0.
