Problema Solution

Let f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = 5x − 4.Find the function.

(f/g)(x) =

Find the domain. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)

Answer provided by our tutors

(f/g)(x) = f(x) / g(x)


(f/g)(x) = (2x + 1)/(5x − 4)


the domain of f/g is the intersection of the domain of f and the domain of g, with the exception of the points x satisfying g(x) = 0.


the domain of f and the domain of g is the set of real numbers R.


lets find the points x for which g(x) = 0


5x − 4 = 0


x = 4/5


thus the domain is D = R/{4/5} = (-~, 4/5) U (4/5 +~).
