Q. Graphs and Functions\newlineCombining functions: Advanced\newlineSuppose that the functions f f and g g are defined as follows.\newlinef(x)=4x5g(x)=x4 \begin{array}{l} f(x)=\sqrt{4 x-5} \\ g(x)=x-4 \end{array} \newlineFind fg f \cdot g and f+g f+g . Then, give their domains using interval notation.\newline(fg)(x)= (f \cdot g)(x)= \newline \square \newlineDomain of fg: f \cdot g: \square \newline(f+g)(x)= (f+g)(x)= \newline \square \newlineDomain of f+g: f+g: \square
  1. Define functions and operations: Step 11: Define the functions and identify the operations needed. \newlinef(x)=4x5f(x) = \sqrt{4x - 5}\newlineg(x)=x4g(x) = x - 4\newlineWe need to find (fg)(x)(f*g)(x) and (f+g)(x)(f+g)(x).
  2. Calculate (fg)(x)(f*g)(x): Step 22: Calculate (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)(f*g)(x) = f(x) * g(x).(fg)(x)=4x5(x4)(f*g)(x) = \sqrt{4x - 5} * (x - 4)Simplify if possible, but here it remains as is.
  3. Determine domain of (fg)(x)(f*g)(x): Step 33: Determine the domain of (fg)(x)(f*g)(x).\newlineThe domain of 4x5\sqrt{4x - 5} is 4x504x - 5 \geq 0, so x54x \geq \frac{5}{4}.\newlineThe domain of x4x - 4 is all real numbers.\newlineThe domain of (fg)(x)(f*g)(x) is the intersection, which is x54x \geq \frac{5}{4}.
  4. Calculate (f+g)(x)(f+g)(x): Step 44: Calculate (f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x).(f+g)(x)=4x5+(x4)(f+g)(x) = \sqrt{4x - 5} + (x - 4)Again, this expression is simplified as much as possible.
  5. Determine domain of (f+g)(x)(f+g)(x): Step 55: Determine the domain of (f+g)(x)(f+g)(x). The domain of 4x5\sqrt{4x - 5} is 4x504x - 5 \geq 0, so x54x \geq \frac{5}{4}. The domain of x4x - 4 is all real numbers. The domain of (f+g)(x)(f+g)(x) is the intersection, which is x54x \geq \frac{5}{4}.
