I need help with this problem

tired kindleBOT
oblique coyote
#

its very simple concept

#

fg(x) = f(g(x))

#

&

#

f/g(x) = f(g^-1)(x)

#

@urban marsh

#

replace variable x by the required function in each case

I don’t think it’s f(g(x))

#

It would rather be f(x)g(x)

#

Else they would have write (fοg)(x)

#

Same for (f/g)(x)

#

Thus you just have to develop the product (-2x^2-10x+5)(-3x+7)

oo oki i have been away from this stuff for a decent amount of time so might have been wrong

simply, fg(x) = f(x).g(x)
and f/g(x) = f(x)/g(x) ; g(x) =/= 0

So, fg(x) = 6x^3 + 16x^2 - 85x +35
f/g(x) = 2x^2 + 10x - 5/ 3x - 7 ; the numerator doesn't have real roots thus can't be factorised

f does have real roots
