Answer:

To find the answers, all I have to do is apply the operations (plus, minus, times, and divide) that they tell me to, in the order that they tell me to.

(f + g)(x) = f (x) + g(x)

= [3x + 2] + [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 + 4 – 5x

= 3x – 5x + 2 + 4

= –2x + 6

(f – g)(x) = f (x) – g(x)

= [3x + 2] – [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 – 4 + 5x

= 3x + 5x + 2 – 4

= 8x – 2

(f × g)(x) = [f (x)][g(x)]

= (3x + 2)(4 – 5x)

= 12x + 8 – 15x2 – 10x

= –15x2 + 2x + 8

\left(\small{\dfrac{f}{g}}\right)(x) = \small{\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}}(

g

f

)(x)=

g(x)

f(x)

= \small{\dfrac{3x+2}{4-5x}}=

4−5x

3x+2

My answer is the neat listing of each of my results, clearly labelled as to which is which.

( f + g ) (x) = –2x + 6

( f – g ) (x) = 8x – 2

( f × g ) (x) = –15x2 + 2x + 8

\mathbf{\color{purple}{ \left(\small{\dfrac{\mathit{f}}{\mathit{g}}}\right)(\mathit{x}) = \small{\dfrac{3\mathit{x} + 2}{4 - 5\mathit{x}}} }}(

g

f

)(x)=

4−5x

3x+2
