Solution

Let's work through the parts of the problem one by one.

Given:

f(x)=5xf(x) = \sqrt{5x} g(x)=7x4g(x) = 7x - 4

Part (a): Find (f+g)(x)(f + g)(x)

The sum of two functions is defined as: (f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) Substitute the given functions: (f+g)(x)=5x+(7x4)(f + g)(x) = \sqrt{5x} + (7x - 4) So: (f+g)(x)=5x+7x4(f + g)(x) = \sqrt{5x} + 7x - 4

Domain of f+gf + g

For the domain of f+gf + g, we must consider the domains of both functions f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x).

  • f(x)=5xf(x) = \sqrt{5x} is defined when 5x05x \geq 0, i.e., x0x \geq 0.
  • g(x)=7x4g(x) = 7x - 4 is a linear function and is defined for all real numbers.

Therefore, the domain of f+gf + g is x0x \geq 0.

Answer for part (a): (f+g)(x)=5x+7x4(f + g)(x) = \sqrt{5x} + 7x - 4 Domain: x0x \geq 0.


Part (b): Find (fg)(x)(f - g)(x)

The difference of two functions is defined as: (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) Substitute the given functions: (fg)(x)=5x(7x4)(f - g)(x) = \sqrt{5x} - (7x - 4) Simplifying: (fg)(x)=5x7x+4(f - g)(x) = \sqrt{5x} - 7x + 4

Domain of fgf - g

The domain is still determined by f(x)f(x), which is x0x \geq 0.

Answer for part (b): (fg)(x)=5x7x+4(f - g)(x) = \sqrt{5x} - 7x + 4 Domain: x0x \geq 0.


Part (c): Find (f×g)(x)(f \times g)(x)

The product of two functions is defined as: (f×g)(x)=f(x)×g(x)(f \times g)(x) = f(x) \times g(x) Substitute the given functions: (f×g)(x)=5x×(7x4)(f \times g)(x) = \sqrt{5x} \times (7x - 4) This simplifies to: (f×g)(x)=5x(7x4)(f \times g)(x) = \sqrt{5x}(7x - 4) This is the simplified form, as the product involves a square root.

Domain of f×gf \times g

As before, f(x)f(x) imposes the condition x0x \geq 0, so the domain of f×gf \times g is x0x \geq 0.

Answer for part (c): (f×g)(x)=5x(7x4)(f \times g)(x) = \sqrt{5x}(7x - 4) Domain: x0x \geq 0.


Part (d): Find (fg)(x)\left( \frac{f}{g} \right)(x)

The quotient of two functions is defined as: (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)\left( \frac{f}{g} \right)(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} Substitute the given functions: (fg)(x)=5x7x4\left( \frac{f}{g} \right)(x) = \frac{\sqrt{5x}}{7x - 4}

Domain of fg\frac{f}{g}

For the domain, we need:

  1. f(x)f(x) is defined, i.e., x0x \geq 0.
  2. g(x)0g(x) \neq 0, i.e., 7x407x - 4 \neq 0.

Solve for when 7x4=07x - 4 = 0: 7x=4x=477x = 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \frac{4}{7} Thus, the domain is x0x \geq 0 and x47x \neq \frac{4}{7}.

Answer for part (d): (fg)(x)=5x7x4\left( \frac{f}{g} \right)(x) = \frac{\sqrt{5x}}{7x - 4} Domain: x0x \geq 0 and x47x \neq \frac{4}{7}.


Summary of Answers:

  1. (f+g)(x)=5x+7x4(f + g)(x) = \sqrt{5x} + 7x - 4, Domain: x0x \geq 0
  2. (fg)(x)=5x7x+4(f - g)(x) = \sqrt{5x} - 7x + 4, Domain: x0x \geq 0
  3. (f×g)(x)=5x(7x4)(f \times g)(x) = \sqrt{5x}(7x - 4), Domain: x0x \geq 0
  4. (fg)(x)=5x7x4\left( \frac{f}{g} \right)(x) = \frac{\sqrt{5x}}{7x - 4}, Domain: x0x \geq 0 and x47x \neq \frac{4}{7}
