To find \((f + g + h)(x)\), we will add the three functions \(f(x)\), \(g(x)\), and \(h(x)\) together.

Given:

  • \(f(x) = x^5 - 2x^4 + 5x - 11\)
  • \(g(x) = 9x - 1\)
  • \(h(x) = \sqrt[3]{x} + 6\)

Let's add the three functions:

\[ (f + g + h)(x) = f(x) + g(x) + h(x) \]

\[ = (x^5 - 2x^4 + 5x - 11) + (9x - 1) + (\sqrt[3]{x} + 6) \]

Now combine like terms:

\[ = x^5 - 2x^4 + 5x + 9x - 11 - 1 + 6 + \sqrt[3]{x} \]

Combine the \(x\) terms and constant terms:

\[ = x^5 - 2x^4 + (5x + 9x) + \sqrt[3]{x} + (-11 - 1 + 6) \]

\[ = x^5 - 2x^4 + 14x + \sqrt[3]{x} - 6 \]

So, \[ (f + g + h)(x) = x^5 - 2x^4 + 14x + \sqrt[3]{x} - 6 \]

Next, we need to determine the domain of \((f + g + h)(x)\):

  • The function \(f(x)\) is a polynomial, defined for all \(x\).
  • The function \(g(x)\) is also a polynomial, defined for all \(x\).
  • The function \(h(x) = \sqrt[3]{x} + 6\) is defined for all \(x\) since the cube root function can take any real number.

Since all three functions are defined for all real numbers, the domain of \((f + g + h)(x)\) is:

\[ (-\infty, \infty) \]

Therefore, the answer is: \[ (f + g + h)(x) = x^5 - 2x^4 + 14x + \sqrt[3]{x} - 6 \quad \text{and the domain is} \quad (-\infty, \infty). \]
