Answer

a. f and g b. f and g c. f and g, zero

Work Step by Step

a. The function $(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)$ is defined when both $f(x)$ and $g(x)$are defined, meaning that x must be in the domains of both f and g. b. The function $(fg)(x)=f(x)\cdot g(x)$ is defined when both $f(x)$ and $g(x)$are defined, meaning that x must be in the domains of both f and g. c. $(\displaystyle \frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ is defined when both $f(x)$ and $g(x)$are defined, AND g(x) must not be zero, meaning that x must be in the domains of both f and g, and $g(x)\neq 0.$
