How do you find f(x)+g(x), f(x)-g(x), f(x)*g(x), (f/g)(x) given f(x)=3/(x-7) and g(x)=x^2+5x?

For f(x) + g(x) , you just simply add the two functions. That is:

f(x) + g(x) = 3/(x-7) + x^2 + 5x.

For f(x) - g(x), the same applies, but now we are subtracting the two functions; that is:

f(x) - g(x) = 3/(x-7) - x^2 - 5x.

And we proceed like this to the other two cases:

f(x).g(x) = (3/(x-7)) . (x^2 + 5x) = (3(x^2 + 5x))/(x-7).

f(x)/g(x)= (3/(x-7))/(x^2 + 5x) = (3)/((x-7)(x^2 + 5x)).
