1. Given that f(x) = sqrt(3x+6) and g(x) = x-4/x, find the following functions and express their domains in interval notation.

a) (f+g)(x)=________, its domain is _______
b) (f/g)(x)=_______, its domain is _______
c) (g/f)(x)=_______, its domain is _______
d) (f ○ g)(x)=_______, its domain is_______

f(x)=√(3x+6)
The domain of f(x) is
3x+6≥0
3x≥-6
x≥-2

g(x)=x-4/x
The domain of g(x) is
x≠0
(a)
(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)
=√(3x+6)+x-4/x
The domain is -2  x < 0 or x > 0.
[-2, 0)  (0, )

(b)
(f/g)(x)=√(3x+6)/(x-4/x)

x-4/x≠0
x≠4/x
x^2≠4
x≠±2

The domain is -2 < x < 0, 0 < x < 2, x > 2
(-2, 0)  (0, 2)  (2, )

(c)
(g/f)(x)=(x-4/x)/√(3x+6)

3x+6≠0
x≠-2

The domain is -2 < x < 0 or x > 0.
(-2, 0)  (0, )

(d)
(fog)(x)=√(3(x-4/x)+6)
=√(3x-14/x+6)

3x-14/x+6≥0
For x > 0,
3x^2-14+6x≥0
3x^2+6x-14≥0

For 3x2 + 6x - 14 = 0, the solution is x= 1.38 or -3.38. The ...
