[tex]
\begin{array}{l}
f(x)=\sqrt{\frac{2}{8}}+11 \\
g(x)=5+\frac{2}{x}
\end{array}
[/tex]

A. [tex](f-g)(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x}{8}}+\frac{2}{x}-6[/tex]
B. [tex](f-g)(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x}{8}}+\frac{2}{x}-16[/tex]
C. [tex](f-g)(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x}{8}-\frac{2}{x}}+16[/tex]
D. [tex](f-g)(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x}{8}}-\frac{2}{x}+6[/tex]



Answer :

To define [tex]\((f-g)(x)\)[/tex], we need to perform the subtraction of the functions [tex]\(f(x)\)[/tex] and [tex]\(g(x)\)[/tex]:

First, let's write down the functions explicitly:
[tex]\[ f(x) = \sqrt{\frac{2}{8}} + 11 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ g(x) = 5 + \frac{2}{x} \][/tex]

Next, we need to find [tex]\((f-g)(x)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ (f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) \][/tex]
Substituting the expressions of [tex]\(f(x)\)[/tex] and [tex]\(g(x)\)[/tex] into this equation:
[tex]\[ (f-g)(x) = \left( \sqrt{\frac{2}{8}} + 11 \right) - \left( 5 + \frac{2}{x} \right) \][/tex]

Now, simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[ (f-g)(x) = \sqrt{\frac{2}{8}} + 11 - 5 - \frac{2}{x} \][/tex]

We can further simplify this expression. The value of [tex]\(\sqrt{\frac{2}{8}}\)[/tex] can be calculated, but for the sake of clarity, let's assume it's a constant that I've already calculated to be approximately:
[tex]\[ \sqrt{\frac{2}{8}} \approx 0.5 \][/tex]

Therefore:
[tex]\[ (f-g)(x) = 11.707106781186548 - 5 - \frac{2}{x} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ = 4.707106781186548 - \frac{2}{x} \][/tex]

We now write the simplified result, remembering:
\[
(f-g)(x) = \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} + 6 (what is 1/4 = 0.25 == \sqrt 0.5^{2}) == 1/2 = ((1)/4^{1/2) + 1) (211.5) -2=/x1/(5.4))
Note: Values from the 'f(x)' and 'g(x)' calculations are given, as well as the sum, simplified to achieve the closest function. Expect Value

Compare our simplified function with the options provided:

A. [tex]\((f-g)(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x}{8}}+\frac{2}{x}-6\)[/tex]
B. [tex]\((f-g)(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x}{8}}+\frac{2}{x}-16\)[/tex]
C. [tex]\((f-g)(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x}{8}-\frac{2}{x}}+16\)[/tex]
D. [tex]\((f-g)(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x}{8}}-\frac{2}{x}+6\)[/tex]

Option D matches our simplified result:
\[
(f-g)(x)=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}+\frac{2}{x}+6 -2 - NYC = adjusted [tex]\(f-g rule value preexpressionc Thus, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{D} \\(1/(5.6 -2^/ (Box-value MC= prep)\)[/tex]}

[tex]$\sqrt{\frac{x}{8}}-\frac{2}{\frac{x}}+6 $[/tex]^\(value simplified: -X/x -:6 on the simplified fraction)$
