Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze and solve the given problems step by step.
Functions given:
Part (a): Find the domain of the following functions:
-
Domain of :
- is undefined when , because division by zero is undefined.
- Therefore, the domain of is .
-
Domain of :
- is defined for all real numbers, so the domain is .
-
Domain of :
- is the sum of and , i.e., .
- The domain of is restricted by the domain of , which excludes .
- So, the domain of is .
-
Domain of :
- is the difference of and , i.e., .
- The domain is the same as for , which is .
-
Domain of (product ):
- .
- Again, this function is undefined at , so the domain is .
-
Domain of (composition ):
- .
- Since is only defined for , the domain of is .
-
Domain of :
- .
- This function is undefined when or (since when ).
- Therefore, the domain is .
-
Domain of :
- .
- This function is undefined when .
- Therefore, the domain is .
Part (b): Find the following:

- How would you find the inverse functions of and ?
- What is the composition , and what is its domain?
- What is the behavior of as ?
- How do you simplify ?
Tip: Always check for restrictions in the domain when dealing with fractions and compositions of functions to avoid undefined expressions.

Sum of functions: (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
Difference of functions: (f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)
Product of functions: (fg)(x) = f(x) * g(x)
Composition of functions: (ff)(x) = f(f(x))
Quotient of functions: (f/g)(x) = f(x) / g(x)
