Suppose that the functions [tex]f[/tex] and [tex]g[/tex] are defined as follows.

[tex]
\begin{array}{l}
f(x)=2x^2-5 \\
g(x)=4x-6
\end{array}
[/tex]

(a) Find [tex]\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(2)[/tex]

(b) Find all values that are NOT in the domain of [tex]\frac{f}{g}[/tex].

If there is more than one value, separate them with commas.

(a) [tex]\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(2) = \square[/tex]

(b) Value(s) that are NOT in the domain of [tex]\frac{f}{g}: \square \ \square[/tex]



Answer :

Let's start by evaluating the functions and then proceed to find the answers to the specific parts of the question.

### Part (a) Calculate [tex]\(\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(2)\)[/tex]

First, we need to evaluate [tex]\( f(2) \)[/tex] and [tex]\( g(2) \)[/tex].

Given:
[tex]\[ f(x) = 2x^2 - 5 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ g(x) = 4x - 6 \][/tex]

1. Calculate [tex]\( f(2) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ f(2) = 2(2)^2 - 5 = 2 \cdot 4 - 5 = 8 - 5 = 3 \][/tex]

2. Calculate [tex]\( g(2) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ g(2) = 4(2) - 6 = 8 - 6 = 2 \][/tex]

Now, we need to calculate [tex]\( \left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(2) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(2) = \frac{f(2)}{g(2)} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\(\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(2) = 1.5\)[/tex].

### Part (b) Find all values that are NOT in the domain of [tex]\(\frac{f}{g}\)[/tex]

The domain of [tex]\(\frac{f}{g}\)[/tex] is determined by the values of [tex]\(x\)[/tex] for which [tex]\(g(x) \neq 0\)[/tex]. Therefore, we need to find the values of [tex]\(x\)[/tex] that make [tex]\(g(x) = 0\)[/tex].

Set [tex]\( g(x) = 0 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 4x - 6 = 0 \][/tex]

Solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 4x = 6 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ x = \frac{6}{4} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ x = \frac{3}{2} \][/tex]

Thus, the value [tex]\( x = \frac{3}{2} \)[/tex] is not in the domain of [tex]\(\frac{f}{g}\)[/tex].

### Summary
(a) [tex]\(\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(2) = 1.5\)[/tex]

(b) The value that is NOT in the domain of [tex]\(\frac{f}{g}\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ \frac{3}{2} \][/tex]
