Work Step by Step

$f(x)=1+\frac{1}{x},$ $g(x)=\frac{1}{x}$ a.$(f+g)(x)=\frac{x+1}{x}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{x+2}{x}$ for all ${x|x \in \mathbb{R}} \ne 0$ b.$(f-g)(x)=\frac{x+1}{x}-\frac{1}{x}=\frac{x}{x}=1$ for all ${x|x \in \mathbb{R}} \ne 0$ c. $(f \times g)(x)=\frac{x+1}{x}\times \frac{1}{x}=\frac{x+1}{x^2}$ for all ${x|x \in \mathbb{R}} \ne 0$ d. $(f/g)(x)=\frac{\frac{x+1}{x}}{\frac{1}{x}}=x+1$ for all ${x|x \in \mathbb{R}} \ne 0$ e. $(f+g)(3)=\frac{5}{3}$ f. $(f-g)(4)=1$ g. $(f\times g)(2)=\frac{3}{4}$ h. $(f/g)(1)=2$
