Is there a difference if we plug in any number numerically into: 

 

\(f(x) = \sqrt{x+1/x-1} \)

and 

\(g(x) = \sqrt{x+1}/\sqrt{x-1}\)

 

If so, give a number.

\(f(x) = \sqrt{x+1/x-1}\)      \(\large=\sqrt{x+\frac{1}{x}-1}\)

 

\(g(x) = \sqrt{x+1}/\sqrt{x-1}\)    \(\large=\sqrt{\frac{x+1}{x-1}}\)

You're not wrong! People need to put their parenthesees if they mean them. Parenthesees are really good!

 

Except apparently the last 2 things aren't really equal in all cases. I wasn't aware of that until now. surprise
