The functions f(x), g(x) and h(x) are related as a result of composite functions
The values of the functions are f(x) = x³ - 5x² + 2x + 8 and g(x) = x² - x - 2
How to determine the functions f(x) and g(x)?
From the question, we have the following equation
h(x) = f(x)/g(x)
This gives
f(x) = g(x) * h(x)
The function h(x) is given as:
h(x) = x - 4
So, we have:
f(x) = g(x) * (x - 4)
The function g(x) cannot be x³ - 3x² - 6x + 8 because the leading coefficients of function f(x) are 3 and 2
Next, we assume that:
g(x) = x² - x - 2
So, we have:
f(x) = (x² - x - 2) * (x - 4)
Expand
f(x) = (x³ - x² - 2x - 4x² + 4x + 8)
Evaluate like terms
f(x) = x³ - 5x² + 2x + 8
The above function exists in the given table.
Hence, the values of the functions are f(x) = x³ - 5x² + 2x + 8 and g(x) = x² - x - 2
