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

[tex]\[
\begin{array}{l}
h(x)=x+3 \\
g(x)=(x+6)(x-4)
\end{array}
\][/tex]

(a) Find [tex]\left(\frac{h}{g}\right)(5)[/tex].

(b) Find all values that are NOT in the domain of [tex]\frac{h}{g}[/tex]. If there is more than one value, separate them with commas.

(a) [tex]\left(\frac{h}{g}\right)(5) = \square[/tex]

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



Answer :

Sure! Let's go through the problem step by step.

### Part (a): Find [tex]\(\left(\frac{h}{g}\right)(5)\)[/tex]

1. Evaluate [tex]\(h(5)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ h(x) = x + 3 \][/tex]
Substituting [tex]\(x = 5\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ h(5) = 5 + 3 = 8 \][/tex]

2. Evaluate [tex]\(g(5)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ g(x) = (x + 6)(x - 4) \][/tex]
Substituting [tex]\(x = 5\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ g(5) = (5 + 6)(5 - 4) = 11 \cdot 1 = 11 \][/tex]

3. Calculate [tex]\(\left(\frac{h}{g}\right)(5)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \left(\frac{h}{g}\right)(5) = \frac{h(5)}{g(5)} = \frac{8}{11} \approx 0.7272727272727273 \][/tex]

Therefore, [tex]\(\left(\frac{h}{g}\right)(5) = \frac{8}{11} \approx 0.7272727272727273\)[/tex].

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

To find the values that are NOT in the domain of [tex]\(\frac{h}{g}\)[/tex], we need to determine where the function [tex]\(g(x)\)[/tex] is equal to zero because division by zero is undefined.

1. Solve [tex]\(g(x) = 0\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ g(x) = (x + 6)(x - 4) \][/tex]
Set the expression equal to zero:
[tex]\[ (x + 6)(x - 4) = 0 \][/tex]
This product is zero when either factor is zero:
[tex]\[ x + 6 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x - 4 = 0 \][/tex]
Solving these equations gives:
[tex]\[ x = -6 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 4 \][/tex]

Thus, the values that are NOT in the domain of [tex]\(\frac{h}{g}\)[/tex] are [tex]\(-6\)[/tex] and [tex]\(4\)[/tex].

### Final Answers:
(a) [tex]\(\left(\frac{h}{g}\right)(5) = \frac{8}{11} \approx 0.7272727272727273\)[/tex]

(b) Values that are NOT in the domain of [tex]\(\frac{h}{g}\)[/tex]: [tex]\(-6, 4\)[/tex]
