Math Problem Statement

(f/g)(x)=(3x+1/ x²-25)/(2x-4/ x²-25)

Solution

To find the function (fg)(x)\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(x), you need to divide the two given functions:

(fg)(x)=3x+1x2252x4x225\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(x) = \frac{\frac{3x+1}{x^2-25}}{\frac{2x-4}{x^2-25}}

When dividing fractions, you multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator. So, this becomes:

(fg)(x)=3x+1x225×x2252x4\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(x) = \frac{3x+1}{x^2-25} \times \frac{x^2-25}{2x-4}

Since the x225x^2 - 25 terms in the numerator and denominator are the same, they cancel out, simplifying to:

(fg)(x)=3x+12x4\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(x) = \frac{3x + 1}{2x - 4}

This is the simplified form of the function (fg)(x)\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(x).
