Let $f(x)=\frac{1}{x-4}$ and $g(x)=5 x+11$.
Then $(f \circ g)(3)=\square$,
\[
(f \circ g)(x)=\square \text {. }
\]
\(\boxed{(f \circ g)(x) = \frac{1}{5x + 7}}\).
Step 1 :Given the functions \(f(x) = \frac{1}{x-4}\) and \(g(x) = 5x + 11\), we are asked to find the composition of these functions, denoted as \((f \circ g)(x)\) and \((f \circ g)(3)\).
Step 2 :The notation \((f \circ g)(x)\) means \(f(g(x))\).
Step 3 :First, let's find \((f \circ g)(3)\).
Step 4 :We know that \(g(3) = 5*3 + 11 = 26\).
Step 5 :So, \((f \circ g)(3) = f(g(3)) = f(26)\).
Step 6 :We know that \(f(x) = \frac{1}{x-4}\), so \(f(26) = \frac{1}{26-4} = \frac{1}{22}\).
Step 7 :\(\boxed{(f \circ g)(3) = \frac{1}{22}}\).
Step 8 :Next, let's find \((f \circ g)(x)\).
Step 9 :We know that \(g(x) = 5x + 11\), so \((f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(5x + 11)\).
Step 10 :We know that \(f(x) = \frac{1}{x-4}\), so \(f(5x + 11) = \frac{1}{5x + 11 - 4} = \frac{1}{5x + 7}\).
Step 11 :\(\boxed{(f \circ g)(x) = \frac{1}{5x + 7}}\).
