Step by step solution

01

Part (a)  Step 1. Given Information.

We have given,

fx=x2, gx=x2+4

02

Part (a)  Step 2. Concept used.

A function which is depends on any other function we can call it as composite function.

f ∘ g=fgx

Domainis the set of all input values where function is well defined and objective.

03

Part (a) Step 3. Explanation.

We have given,

fx=x2, gx=x2+4

Using definition of the composite function,

f ∘ g=fgx=fx2+4=x2+42=x4+8x2+16

We have given functions f and g both are polynomial functions so the domain of both functions is set of real numbers.

Therefore domain of the composite function is also the set of real numbers.

Domain:-∞, ∞

04

Part (a) Step 4. Conclusion.

Hence, composite function of the functions fx=x2, gx=x2+4isf ∘ g=x4+8x2+16and domain of the function is-∞, ∞.

05

Part (b) Step 1. Explanation.

We have given,

fx=x2, gx=x2+4

Using definition of the composite function,

g ∘ f=gfx=gx2=x22+4=x4+4

We have given functions f and g both are polynomial functions so the domain of both functions is set of real numbers.

Therefore domain of the composite function is also the set of real numbers.

Domain:-∞, ∞

06

Part (b) Step 2. Conclusion.

Hence, composite function of the functions fx=x2, gx=x2+4is

g ∘ f=x4+4and domain is-∞, ∞.

07

Part (c)  Step 1. Explanation.

We have given,

fx=x2, gx=x2+4

Using definition of the composite function,

f ∘ f=ffx=fx2=x22=x4

We have given functions f and g both are polynomial functions so the domain of both functions is set of real numbers.

Therefore domain of the composite function is also the set of real numbers.

Domain:-∞, ∞

08

Part (c) Step 2. Conclusion.

Hence, composite function of the functions fx=x2, gx=x2+4is

f ∘ f=x4and domain is-∞, ∞.

09

Part (d) Step 1. Explanation.

We have given,

fx=x2, gx=x2+4

Using definition of the composite function,

g ∘ g=ggx=gx2+4=x2+42+4=x4+8x2+20

We have given functionsf and g both are polynomial functions so the domain of both functions is set of real numbers.

Therefore domain of the composite function is also the set of real numbers.

Domain:-∞, ∞

10

Part (d) Step 2. Conclusion.

Hence, composite function of the function fx=x2, gx=x2+4is g ∘ g=x4+8x2+20and domain is-∞, ∞
