Question

Evaluate the function for f(x) = x + 3 and g(x) = x^2 – 2.

(f/g)(5)

(f/g)(5)=

Answer 1

8/23

Explanation:

In functions, the (f/g)(x)=f(x)/g(x). It basically division of the functions.

We solve them each separately.

We first plug in 5 for all of the x values:

`f(5)=(5)+3\\f(5)=8`

We then solve the second one:

`g(5)=5^(2) -2\\g(5)=25-2\\g(5)=23`

So, now we divide!

`(f/g)(5)=(f(5))/(g(5)) \\(8)/(23)`

Hope this helps!
