Answer to Question #208713 in Algebra for someone

Question

Use the function f(x)=2^x/x to answer the question.

Which combination could result in the function f(x)?

• adding a quadratic function and a rational function
• dividing an exponential function by a linear function
• adding an exponential function and a linear function

(select the correct option)

Answer 1

Let us use the function $f(x)=\frac{2^x}{x}$ to answer the question: which combination could result in the function $f(x)$? Taking into account that the function $g(x)=2^x$ is an exponential function and the function $h(x)=x$ is a linear function, we conclude that the function $f(x)=\frac{g(x)}{h(x)}=\frac{2^x}{x}$is a result of dividing an exponential function by a linear function.

Answer: dividing an exponential function by a linear function
