To find (f+g)(x), we need to add the functions f(x) and g(x):

(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
= (-3x^2 - 9x) + (9x + 4)
= -3x^2 - 9x + 9x + 4
= -3x^2 + 4

The domain of (f+g)(x) is the same as the domain of f(x) and g(x). Since there are no restrictions in the given functions, the domain is all real numbers. Therefore,

(f+g)(x) = -3x^2 + 4
d = (-∞, ∞)

To find (f-g)(x), we need to subtract the function g(x) from f(x):

(f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)
= (-3x^2 - 9x) - (9x + 4)
= -3x^2 - 9x - 9x - 4
= -3x^2 - 18x - 4

The domain of (f-g)(x) is the same as the domain of f(x) and g(x), which is all real numbers. Therefore,

(f-g)(x) = -3x^2 - 18x - 4
d = (-∞, ∞)

To find (fg)(x), we need to multiply f(x) and g(x):

(fg)(x) = f(x) * g(x)
= (-3x^2 - 9x) * (9x + 4)
= -3x^2(9x + 4) - 9x(9x + 4)
= -27x^3 - 12x^2 - 81x^2 - 36x
= -27x^3 - 93x^2 - 36x

The domain of (fg)(x) is the same as the domain of f(x) and g(x), which is all real numbers. Therefore,

(fg)(x) = -27x^3 - 93x^2 - 36x
d = (-∞, ∞)

To find (f/g)(x), we need to divide f(x) by g(x):

(f/g)(x) = f(x) / g(x)
= (-3x^2 - 9x) / (9x + 4)

The domain of (f/g)(x) is the same as the domain of f(x) and g(x), which is all real numbers except for values that make the denominator equal to zero. Therefore, x cannot be -4/9 since it would result in division by zero. So, the domain is:

d = (-∞, -4/9) U (-4/9, ∞)
