Answer:


\boxed{\boxed{(f(x))/(g(x))=2x^3-6x^2-x}}

Explanation:

Here given that,


f(x) = 16x^5-48x^4-8x^3\\\\g(x) = 8x^2

So
(f(x))/(g(x)) will be,


(f(x))/(g(x))=(16x^5-48x^4-8x^3)/(8x^2)

Applying single division,


(16x^5-48x^4-8x^3)/(8x^2)=(16x^5)/(8x^2)-(48x^4)/(8x^2)-(8x^3)/(8x^2)

Simplifying further,


(16x^5)/(8x^2)-(48x^4)/(8x^2)-(8x^3)/(8x^2)=2x^3-6x^2-x

The answer is d)2x3 – 6x2 – x.

It is given:

f(x)=16 x^(5)-48 x^(4) -8 x^(3)

g(x)=8 x^(2)

We should find:

f( (f(x))/(g(x)) )

So, we just need to replace it in the equation:

f( (f(x))/(g(x)) )= (16 x^(5)-48 x^(4) -8 x^(3))/(8 x^(2))

Let's now separate each member of equation:

f( (f(x))/(g(x)) )= (16 x^(5))/(8 x^(2)) - (48 x^(4))/(8 x^(2)) - (8 x^(3))/(8 x^(2)) = (16)/(8) x^(5-2) -(48)/(8) x^(4-2) -(8)/(8) x^(3-2)


f( (f(x))/(g(x)) )=2 x^(3) -6 x^(2) -x
