Math Problem Statement

f(x)=4x+5 g(x)=3x+4

Solution

Given the functions f(x)=4x+5f(x) = 4x + 5 and g(x)=3x+4g(x) = 3x + 4, you can perform several operations with them. Here are some common ones:

  1. Sum of the functions: (f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) Substitute the given functions: (f+g)(x)=(4x+5)+(3x+4)=7x+9(f + g)(x) = (4x + 5) + (3x + 4) = 7x + 9

  2. Difference of the functions: (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) Substitute the given functions: (fg)(x)=(4x+5)(3x+4)=x+1(f - g)(x) = (4x + 5) - (3x + 4) = x + 1

  3. Product of the functions: (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)(f \cdot g)(x) = f(x) \cdot g(x) Substitute the given functions: (fg)(x)=(4x+5)(3x+4)(f \cdot g)(x) = (4x + 5) \cdot (3x + 4) Expanding the product: (fg)(x)=12x2+16x+15x+20=12x2+31x+20(f \cdot g)(x) = 12x^2 + 16x + 15x + 20 = 12x^2 + 31x + 20

  4. Quotient of the functions: (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} Substitute the given functions: (fg)(x)=4x+53x+4\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(x) = \frac{4x + 5}{3x + 4}

  5. Composition of the functions (two cases):

    • f(g(x))f(g(x)): f(g(x))=f(3x+4)f(g(x)) = f(3x + 4) Substitute g(x)g(x) into f(x)f(x): f(g(x))=4(3x+4)+5=12x+16+5=12x+21f(g(x)) = 4(3x + 4) + 5 = 12x + 16 + 5 = 12x + 21
    • g(f(x))g(f(x)): g(f(x))=g(4x+5)g(f(x)) = g(4x + 5) Substitute f(x)f(x) into g(x)g(x): g(f(x))=3(4x+5)+4=12x+15+4=12x+19g(f(x)) = 3(4x + 5) + 4 = 12x + 15 + 4 = 12x + 19

Would you like more details or have any questions?

Here are five related questions:

  1. What is the derivative of the function f(x)=4x+5f(x) = 4x + 5?
  2. How do you find the intersection points of the graphs of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x)?
  3. What is the inverse of f(x)=4x+5f(x) = 4x + 5?
  4. Can you solve for xx when f(x)=g(x)f(x) = g(x)?
  5. How would you graph f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) on the same coordinate plane?

Tip: Always check the domain of your functions, especially when dealing with compositions or quotients, to avoid undefined values.
