If f(x)=25-x^2 and g(x)=x+5, what is (f/g)(x)? Write your answer in the simplest form.
f(x) = 25-x^2
g(x) =x+5
(25-x^2)/(x+5)
Factor the 25-x^2
(-x+5)(x+5)/(x+5)
The (x+5)s are common therefore cross out leaving you with (f/g)(x)= -x+5
The simplest form of the given expressions will be \((5-x)\).
Expressions is a finite combination of symbols that is well-formed according to rules that depend on the context.
We have,
\(f(x)=25-x^2\)
\(g(x)=x+5=5+x\)
So,
\((\frac{f}{g} )x=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\) \(.....(i)\)
Now,
Simplify \(f(x)=25-x^2\), Using \(a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\)
I.e.
\(f(x)=25-x^2 =(5+x)(5-x)\)
Now, substituting this in equation \((i)\) ;
\((\frac{f}{g} )x=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\)
i.e.
\(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{ (5+x)(5-x)}{5+x}\)
Simplify ;
\(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}= (5-x)\)
So, the simplest form is \((5-x)\) .
Hence, we can say that the simplest form of the given expressions will be \((5-x)\) .
