Suppose that f(x)=x2-5x+1and g(x)=-4x-7

(a) Find f+gand state its domain.

(b) Find fgand state its domain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

We have

a)(f+g)=x2-9x-6Domain=(-∞,∞)b)fg=x2-5x+1-4x-7Domain=(-∞,-74)∪(-74,∞)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The function we are given

f(x)=x2-5x+1g(x)=-4x-7

02

We find f+g and its domain 

We get

(f+g)(x)f(x)+g(x)x2-5x+1-4x-7x2-9x-6

Also the function exist for all real values. Hence the domain of the function is

03

Compute fgand its domain 

We have,

fg(x)=f(x)g(x)=x2-5x+1-4x-7

Now the function will not exist at -4x-7=0-4x=7x=-74

Hence the domain of the function is

(-∞,-74)∪(-74,∞)

04

Conclusion

a)(f+g)=x2-9x-6Anddomain=(-∞,∞)b)fg=x2-5x+1-4x-7domain=(-∞,-74)∪(-74,∞)
