Math Problem Statement
Use the given functions f and g to find f + g,
f − g,
fg, and f g . State the domain of each. (Enter your answer for the domain in interval notation.) f(x) =
sqrt25 − x2 , g(x) = 5 + x
Solution
We are given the functions:
We need to find:
We will also find the domain of each function and operation. Let's go through each step.
1.
Domain of
- For , we need , meaning , so .
- has no restrictions, its domain is all real numbers.
Thus, the domain of is .
2.
Domain of
- The domain of is the same as the domain of , which is .
3.
Domain of
- The domain is again constrained by , so the domain of is .
4.
Domain of
- In addition to , we need to exclude points where , which happens when , or .
Thus, the domain of is .
Summary of Domains:
- : Domain =
- : Domain =
- : Domain =
- : Domain =

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)
(fg)(x) = f(x) * g(x)
(f/g)(x) = f(x) / g(x)
Theorems
Square root function domain: radicand must be non-negative
Division rule: denominator must not be zero
