Answer

a.$\displaystyle \quad q(x)=\frac{x-1}{\sqrt{10-x}}$ b.$\quad [0,10)$ c.$\quad 0$

Work Step by Step

$a.$ $q=\displaystyle \frac{f}{g}$ is the function specified by $q(x)=\displaystyle \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ $q(x)=\displaystyle \frac{x-1}{\sqrt{10-x}}$ $b.$ See Note on Domains p.70-71 Domain of $f/g$: All real numbers $x$ simultaneously in the domains of $f$ and $g$ such that $g(x)\neq 0$ Given the domains of $v$ and $g$, the domain of $q$ is the set $[0,10]$ for which $\sqrt{10-x}\neq 0$, $[0,10]$ for which $x\neq 10$, That is, $0 \leq x <10$, or written in interval form; $[0,10)$ $\mathrm{c}.$ $q(1) =\displaystyle \frac{1-1}{\sqrt{10-1}}=\frac{0}{3}=0$
