Part B.

In this case, we need to evaluate the following function,


(g-f)(-3)=g(-3)-f(-3)

Then, by replacing the number -3 into the place of x in functions f and g, we have


g(-3)=8-(-3)^3=8-(-27)=8+27=35

and


f(-3)=(-3)^2-5(-3)=9+15=24

Then,


(g-f)(-3)=g(-3)-f(-3)=35-24=11

Therefore, the answer is:


(g-f)(-3)=11

Part C.

In this case, we need to evaluate


(f\cdot g)(1)=f(1)\cdot g(1)

So, by replacing the number 1 into the place of x in function f and g , we have


f(1)=(1)^2-5(1)=1-5=-4

and


g(1)=8-(1)^3=8-1=7

Then, we have that


(f\cdot g)(1)=f(1)\cdot g(1)=(-4)\cdot7=-28

Therefore, the answer is:


(f\cdot g)(1)=-28

Part D.

Similarly, in this case we have


((g)/(f))(-4)=(g(-4))/(f(-4))

By replacing the number -4 into the place of x in functions f and g ,we get


g(-4)=8-(-4)^3=8-(-64)=8+64=72

and


f(-4)=(-4)^2-5(-4)=16+20=36

So, we have that


((g)/(f))(-4)=(g(-4))/(f(-4))=(72)/(36)

Therefore, the answer is:


((g)/(f))(-4)=2
