Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows the following two functions and questions:
Given Functions:
Questions:
- Find .
- Find .
Let's go through each problem step by step:
1.
To multiply the two functions, you multiply their numerators and their denominators:
We will expand the expressions for the numerator and simplify the denominator using factoring where possible.
2.
To divide by , you multiply by the reciprocal of :
Again, we will simplify the expressions.
I will now proceed to compute and simplify both expressions.### Results:
These are the simplified forms of the given problems.
Would you like further explanation on how these were derived, or do you have any additional questions?
