If \(f(x)=x^2-9\) and \(g(x)=x-3\), what is \(\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(x)\) for (x \ne 3)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x+3)

The direct answer is A: \(x+3\), with \(x\ne3\). By definition, \(\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{x^2-9}{x-3}\). Factor the numerator as a difference of squares: \(x^2-9=(x-3)(x+3)\). Therefore \(\frac{(x-3)(x+3)}{x-3}=x+3\), but cancellation is allowed only when \(x-3\ne0\), so \(x=3\) remains excluded. Option A is correct. Option B merely shows a cancelled factor and is not the simplified quotient. Option C incorrectly changes subtraction into addition. Option D, 1, would result only if numerator and denominator were identical, which they are not. Also, the simplified rule does not restore the missing value at \(x=3\). The key cue is: factor first, cancel common factors, and keep denominator restrictions.
