Math Problem Statement
OPERATIONS ON FUNCTIONS
• g(x) = x ^ 2 + 2x - 8
• f(x) = x + 3
•h(x) = (x + 7)/(2 - x)
• p(x) = 2x - 7
•t(x) = (x - x)/(x + 3)
• v(x) = x ^ 2 + 5x + 4
f(x) t t(x) v(x) - h(x) p(x) t h(x) g(x) - t(x) f(x) x t(x) h(x) ÷ v(x) p(x) x h(x)
Solution
Let's evaluate the expressions based on the operations and the given functions:
Given Functions:
1.
Since , the result of this operation is .
2.
This expression can be rewritten as: You would need to find a common denominator to combine these, but this is the general form of the difference.
3.
This becomes: You can expand the numerator using the distributive property: Thus,
4.
Since ,
5.
As we saw in the first calculation, .
6.
This can be rewritten as: You could simplify further, depending on the specific values of .
7.
This was already evaluated in step 3:

f(x) * t(x) = (x + 3) * 0 = 0
v(x) - h(x) = (x^2 + 5x + 4) - (x + 7)/(2 - x)
p(x) * h(x) = (2x - 7) * (x + 7)/(2 - x)
g(x) - t(x) = x^2 + 2x - 8
h(x) ÷ v(x) = (x + 7)/[(2 - x)(x^2 + 5x + 4)]
