Question
Finding Arithmetic Combinations of Functions In Exercises 11-18, find (a) (f + g)(x), (b) (f - g)(x), (c) (fg)(x), and (d) (f/g)(x). What is the domain of f/g?
\(f(x)=\frac{1}{x},\quad\ \ g(x)=\frac{1}{x^2}\)
Text Transcription:
f(x) = 1/x, g(x) = 1/x^2
Solution
The first step in solving 1.6 problem number 17 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Finding Arithmetic Combinations of Functions In Exercises 11-18, find (a) (f + g)(x), (b) (f - g)(x), (c) (fg)(x), and (d) (f/g)(x). What is the domain of f/g?\(f(x)=\frac{1}{x},\quad\ \ g(x)=\frac{1}{x^2}\)Text Transcription:f(x) = 1/x, g(x) = 1/x^2
