Thanks Ginger,

I have reported the bug to Herr Massow but it might take him a while to see my message.

I have already given him the address of this post so maybe what you have written will help.

\(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=(x+5)+\frac{-2}{g(x)}\\ \text{how about}\\ f(x)=(x+3)(x+5)-2\\ g(x)=(x+3)\)

f(x) = x - 5

so

f(7) = 7-5=2

Now you can do them on your own.

Please put the latex in a latex box

Sending me abusive private messages really helps too.   

There is a calculator on the home page.

ok we are looking at Q2

2) What are the coordinates of the intersection of the graphs of 3x-y^2=12 and y=-3?

3x-  [(-3)^2]  =12

I have done a correction.  Make sure you understand it and take it from there.

My goodness Ginger, 5 edits.  I suppose some of those were LaTex frustrations.  :)

You are right of course.  Neither Strait's answer nor mine was correct. 

Also, he/she did mislead me but that is my own fault.    Contagious dumbness, well contagious error anyway. 

Straight said that 4-x  is between  6 and 8 and we all agree it is.

But yes people better stick to doing it more conventionally.

Thanks for noticing the error Ginger.

For question 2) sub y=-3 into the first equation and solve for x

In fact they are all just fairly simple simultaneous equations

Please do not post big chunks of homework again.

One post = one question.

You respond to my criticism politely with words,  but you add a thumbs down.  Good one.

So you know how to give thumbs down, thumbs up must be more difficult.  

Oh I am sorry, I can see that you know how to give yourself a thumbs up.  The button must work after all. 

You really are out to encourage help.
