Chapter 2: Q. 106 (page 71)

Are the functions $f (x) = x - 1$ and $g (x) = \frac{x^{2} - 1}{x + 1}$ the same? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The both functions are same.

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information

Are the functions $f (x) = x - 1$ and $g (x) = \frac{x^{2} - 1}{x + 1}$ the same? Explain.

Step 2. The given functions are f(x)=x-1 and g(x)=x2-1x+1.

Firstly solving the function $g (x)$ .

Using the formula $(a^{2} - b^{2}) = (a - b) (a + b)$

$g (x) = \frac{(x - 1) (x + 1)}{x + 1} g (x) = x - 1$

Step 3. The both functions are same.

Both functions are same because when we solve the function $g (x)$ , then $f (x) = g (x)$
