In Problems 29 – 44, for the given functions f and g, find:

(a)f∘g

(b)g∘f

(c)f∘f

(d) g∘g

State the domain of each composite function.

f(x)=1x+3,g(x)=-2x

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) f∘g=x3x-2, its domain is:x|x≠0,x≠23.

b)g∘f=-2(x+3), its domain is:x|x≠-3

c)localid="1648200188428" f∘f=x+33x+10,its domain is:localid="1648200197674" x|x≠-3,x≠-103

d)g∘g=x, its domain is:x|x≠0

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information:

The functions are:

f(x)=1x+3,g(x)=-2x

f(x)is defined for x≠-3.

g(x) is defined forx≠0

02

Step 2. Find f∘g and its domain:

f∘g=f(g(x))=1-2x+3=1-2+3xx=x3x-2

This is defined when,

3x-2≠0x≠23

and

for the g(x)to be defined x≠0

So, Domain is:x|x≠23,x≠0

03

Part (b) Step 1. Find g∘f and its domain.

g∘f=g(f(x))=-21x+3=-2(x+3)

The domain of the function is the domain of f(x)

So, the domain is:x|x≠-3.

04

Part (c) Step 1. Find f∘f and its domain.

f∘f=f(f(x))=11x+3+3=11+3x+9x+3=x+33x+10

This is defined when

3x+10≠0x≠-103

The domain is:

x|x≠-103,x≠-3

05

Part (c) Step 1. Find g∘g and its domain.

g∘g=g(g(x))=-2-2x=x

The domain is;x|x≠0
