Math Problem Statement

(f - g) (x³) = (x³)² over x³ + 3 minus

(f - g)(x³) = (x³)² / (x³ + 3) - √(x³) / x³

Solution

The given equation is:

(fg)(x3)=(x3)2x3+3x3x3(f - g)(x^3) = \frac{(x^3)^2}{x^3 + 3} - \frac{\sqrt{x^3}}{x^3}

To simplify this equation, let's break it down step by step.

Step 1: Simplify (x3)2(x^3)^2

(x3)2=x6(x^3)^2 = x^6

Step 2: Substitute into the equation

Now we substitute x6x^6 back into the equation: (fg)(x3)=x6x3+3x3x3(f - g)(x^3) = \frac{x^6}{x^3 + 3} - \frac{\sqrt{x^3}}{x^3}

Step 3: Simplify the second term x3x3\frac{\sqrt{x^3}}{x^3}

x3x3=x3/2x3=x3/23=x3/2\frac{\sqrt{x^3}}{x^3} = \frac{x^{3/2}}{x^3} = x^{3/2 - 3} = x^{-3/2}

Final Equation

The equation now becomes: (fg)(x3)=x6x3+3x3/2(f - g)(x^3) = \frac{x^6}{x^3 + 3} - x^{-3/2}

This is the simplified form of the given expression.
