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 
-------------
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.
