Evaluate the indicated function for f(x) = x^2 − 1 and g(x) = x − 10 algebraically.

Question

(f/g)(0)

Answer 1

f(x)/g(x) = (x^2-1)/(x-10)

use either long or synthetic division

to get x+10 + 99/(x-10)=

f/g(0) = 10+99/-10 = 10-9.9 = 0.1

UNLESS maybe you meant x-1, instead of x-10

then

x+1 is the answer= f(x)/g(x) = f/g

= 0+1 = 1
