Work Step by Step

$f(x)=\sqrt{x+1},$ $g(x)=\frac{2}{x}$ a.$(f+g)(x)=\sqrt{x+1}+\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x\sqrt{x+1}+2}{x}$ for all ${ x|x \geq -1 \cup x\ne 0}$ b.$(f-g)(x)=\sqrt{x+1}-\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x\sqrt{x+1}-2}{x}$ for all ${ x|x \geq -1 \cup x\ne 0}$ c. $(f \times g)(x)=\sqrt{x+1}\times \frac{2}{x}=\frac{2\sqrt{x+1}}{x}$ for all ${ x|x \geq -1 \cup x\ne 0}$ d. $(f/g)(x)=\frac{\sqrt{x+1}}{\frac{2}{x}}=\frac{x\sqrt{x+1}}{2}$ for all ${ x|x \geq -1 \cup x\ne 0}$ e. $(f+g)(3)=\frac{8}{3}$ f. $(f-g)(4)=\frac{4\sqrt{5}-2}{4}$ g. $(f\times g)(2)=\sqrt{3}$ h. $(f/g)(1)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
