Given f(x)=x+2, g(x)=x-3, h(x)=x+4 how do you determine y=(f(x)g(x))/(h(x))?

(x^2-x-6)/(x+4)

Explanation:

You simply would substitute and then do all the operations:

y=(color(red)(f(x))color(green)(g(x)))/color(blue)(h(x))

=(color(red)((x+2))color(green)((x-3)))/color(blue)((x+4))

=(x^2-3x+2x-6)/(x+4)

=(x^2-x-6)/(x+4)
