Answer

$(a)f(x)+g(x)=-2x+68$ $(b)g(x)-f(x)=-32x$ $(c)f(x)g(x)=-25x^2-68x+1156$ $(d)\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{15x+34}{-17x+34}$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=15x+34$ $g(x)=-17x+34$ $(a)f(x)+g(x)$ $=15x+34+(-17x+34)$ $=15x+34-17x+34$ $=15x-17x+34+34$ $=-2x+68$ $(b)g(x)-f(x)$ $=-17x+34-(15x+34)$ $=-17x+34-15x-34$ $=-17x-15x+34-34$ $=-32x$ $(c)f(x)g(x)$ $=(15x+34)(-17x+34)$ $=15x(-17x+34)+34(-17x+34)$ $=-255x^2+510x-578x+1156$ $=-255x^2-68x+1156$ $(d)\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{15x+34}{-17x+34}$
