Answer

$g(x) =\frac{x-1}{x+1}$

Work Step by Step

$f(x) = \frac{1}{x}$ $(\frac{f}{g}) (x) = \frac{x+1}{x^{2}-x}$ Let $y$ be the function $g(x)$ $\frac{\frac{1}{x}}{y} = \frac{x+1}{x^{2}-x}$ $\frac{1}{x} ({x^{2}-x}) = (x+1)y$ $\frac{\frac{1}{x} ({x^{2}-x})}{(x+1)} = y$ $\frac{\frac{1}{x} x({x-1})}{(x+1)} = y$ $\frac{x-1}{x+1} =y$ Therefore, $g(x) =\frac{x-1}{x+1}$
