Question
Use the given functions $f$ and $g$ to find $f+g, f-g, f g,$ and $\frac{f}{g} .$ State the domain of each.$$f(x)=x^{2}-25, g(x)=x-5$$
Step 1
This is done by adding the functions $f$ and $g$ together: $$f+g = (x^{2}-25) + (x-5) = x^{2} + x - 30.$$ The domain of $f+g$ is all real numbers because there are no restrictions on the values of $x$ that make the function undefined. Show more…
