We are given the graphs of the functions g(x) and f(x)

a) (g+f)(1)

it can be written as


(g+f)(1)=g(1)+f(1)

From the graph, we see that the values of the two functions at x = 1 are

g(1) = -1

f(1) = 1


\begin{gathered} (g+f)(1)=g(1)+f(1) \\ (g+f)(1)=-1+1 \\ (g+f)(1)=0 \end{gathered}

Therefore, (g+f)(1) = 0

b) (f-g)(-1)

It can be written as


(f-g)(-1)=f(-1)-g(-1)

From the graph, we see that the values of the two functions at x = -1 are

g(-1) = 3

f(-1) = -1


\begin{gathered} (f-g)(-1)=f(-1)-g(-1) \\ (f-g)(-1)=-1-3 \\ (f-g)(-1)=-4 \end{gathered}

Therefore, (f-g)(-1) = -4

c) (g*f)(1)

It can be written as


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

From the graph, we see that the values of the two functions at x = 1 are

g(1) = -1

f(1) = 1


\begin{gathered} (g\cdot f)(1)=g(1)\cdot f(1) \\ (g\cdot f)(1)=-1\cdot1 \\ (g\cdot f)(1)=-1 \end{gathered}

Therefore, (g*f)(1) = -1

d) (f/g)(4)

It can be written as


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

From the graph, we see that the values of the two functions at x = 4 are

f(4) = 0

g(4) = 0


((f)/(g))(4)=(f(4))/(g(4))=(0)/(0)=\text{undefined}

Therefore, (f/g)(4) is undefined.
