1. **State the problem:** We are given two functions $f$ and $g$ represented by graphs and asked to evaluate the following composite and combined functions at specific points:
- a. $(f+g)(4)$
- b. $(f \circ g)(1)$
- c. \left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(-2)$
- d. $(g \circ f)(3)$
2. **Recall the definitions:**
- $(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)$
- $(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x))$
- $\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$
- $(g \circ f)(x) = g(f(x))$
3. **Evaluate each part using the graph information:**
- a. $(f+g)(4) = f(4) + g(4)$
From the graph, $f(4) = -1$ (since $f$ decreases from $(2,1)$ downwards) and $g(4) = 1$ (since $g$ crosses the x-axis at 4).
So, $(f+g)(4) = -1 + 1 = 0$.
- b. $(f \circ g)(1) = f(g(1))$
From the graph, $g(1) = 2$ (since $g$ decreases from $y$-intercept 4 to $x$-intercept 4).
Then $f(2) = 1$ (given point).
So, $(f \circ g)(1) = f(2) = 1$.
- c. $\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(-2) = \frac{f(-2)}{g(-2)}$
From the graph, $f(-2) = 3$ (extrapolating the line upwards) and $g(-2) = 1$ (since $g$ is linear and crosses $y$-axis at 4).
So, $\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(-2) = \frac{3}{1} = 3$.
- d. $(g \circ f)(3) = g(f(3))$
From the graph, $f(3) = 0$ (extrapolating line from $(2,1)$ downwards).
Then $g(0) = 4$ (the $y$-intercept of $g$).
So, $(g \circ f)(3) = g(0) = 4$.
4. **Final answers:**
- a. 0
- b. 1
- c. 3
- d. 4
Note: The user provided some answers but the correct evaluation for b is 1, not 7, and for d is 4.
