Answer:
(f/g)(x) = 4x³ - 8x - 5
(f/g)(2) = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 4x⁴ + 4x³ - 8x² - 13x - 5
g(x) = x + 1
To find (f/g)(2) first find (f/g)(x)
To find (f/g)(x) factorize f(x) first
That's
f(x) = 4x⁴ + 4x³ - 8x² - 13x - 5
f(x) = ( x + 1)( 4x³ - 8x - 5)
So we have
[tex] (f/g)(x) = \frac{( x + 1)( 4x³ - 8x - 5)}{x + 1} [/tex]
Simplify
We have
(f/g)(x) = 4x³ - 8x - 5
To find (f/g)(2) substitute 2 into (f/g)(x)
That's
(f/g)(2) = 4(2)³ - 8(2) - 5
= 4(8) - 16 - 5
= 32 - 16 - 5
= 11
(f/g)(2) = 11
Hope this helps you
