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)=x-2g(x)=1-2x

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) f∘g=-1-2xand its domain is:x≤-12

b) g∘f=1-2x-2, and its domain is:x≥2

c) f∘f=x-2-2and its domain is:x≥6.

d) g∘g=4x-1and its domain is:-∞,∞

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information:

The functions are:

f(x)=x-2g(x)=1-2x

The domain of f(x)=x≥2

The domain ofg(x)=-∞,∞

02

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

f∘g=fg(x))=f(1-2x)=1-2x-2=-1-2x

This is defined when g(x)is defined and

-1-2x≥0x≤-12

So domain is:x≤-12

03

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

g∘f=g(f(x))=g(x-2)=1-2x-2

This is defined only when f(x)is defined and x-2≥0x≥2

So the domain is:x≥2

04

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

f∘f=f(f(x))=f(x-2)=x-2-2

This is defined whenf(x)is defined and

x-2-2≥0x-2≥2x-2≥4x≥4+2x≥6

So domain is:

x≥6

05

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

g∘g=g(g(x))=g(1-2x)=1-2(1-2x)=1-2+4x=4x-1

This is defined when g(x)is defined.

The domain of this is-∞,∞
