Work Step by Step

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