Question 232828:  I need to find: f+g, f-g, f.g, and f/g.  I am completely lost.
 
f(a)=-6x-1, g(x)=-8x +7
 
Can you help me, I need this right away. 
Thank you,

You can  put this solution on YOUR website!  I need to find: f+g, f-g, f.g, and f/g. I am completely lost.  
f(a)=-6x-1, g(x)=-8x +7  
------------- 
I'll assume that's f(x), not f(a) 
------- 
f+g = -6x-1 + -8x+7 
= -14x+6  just add them 
-------------- 
f-g = -6x-1 - (-8x+7) 
= -6x-1 +8x-7 
= 2x-8 
------- 
Is that the product?  f*g? 
= (-6x-1)*(-8x+7) 
= 48x^2 -34x - 7 
---------------- 
f/g = (-6x-1)/(-8x+7) not much to be done here 
= (6x+1)/(8x-7)  slightly simpler.
