Given: A function


f(x)=x^2+3x

and


g(x)=4-x

Required: To find the function-


((f)/(g))(x)\text{ and }((f)/(g))(5)

Step-by-step explanation: The required function can be calculated as


\begin{gathered} ((f)/(g))(x)=(f(x))/(g(x)) \\ =(x^2+3x)/(4-x) \\ =(x(x+3))/(4-x) \end{gathered}

Now putting x=5 gives-


\begin{gathered} ((f)/(g))(5)=(5^2+3(5))/(4-5) \\ =(25+15)/(-1) \\ =-40 \end{gathered}

Final Answer: The required function is


((f)/(g))(x)=(x(x+3))/(4-x)

and


((f)/(g))(5)=-40
