Answer

$f+g,f-g,fg$: all real numbers; $\frac{f}{g}$: all real numbers except $-2$

Work Step by Step

For all but $\frac{f}{g}$, the domain includes all real numbers. To find the domain of $\frac{f}{g}$, set the denominator equal to $0$. $f+g=(3x-4)+(x+2)$ $f+g=4x-2$ $(-∞,∞)$ $f-g=(3x-4)-(x+2)$ $f-g=2x-6$ $(-∞,∞)$ $fg=(3x-4)(x+2)$ $fg=3x^2+2x-8$ $(-∞,∞)$ $\frac{f}{g}=\frac{3x-4}{x+2}$ $x\ne-2$
