Jawaban penyelesaian

Diketahui f(x) = √(x^2 - 1) dan g(x) = 2/x. a) Domain, Range, dan Grafik f(x) b) Domain dan Komposisi f(g(x))

Solution

The problem asks for:

  1. The domain, range, and graph of the function f(x)=x21f(x) = \sqrt{x^2 - 1} and g(x)=2xg(x) = \frac{2}{x}.
  2. The domain and composition of f(g(x))f(g(x)).

Let's break it down:

a) Domain, Range, and Graph of f(x)=x21f(x) = \sqrt{x^2 - 1}

Domain:

For the square root function to be real, the expression inside the square root must be non-negative: x210x^2 - 1 \geq 0 Solving this inequality: x21x1x^2 \geq 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad |x| \geq 1 So, the domain of f(x)f(x) is: x(,1][1,)x \in (-\infty, -1] \cup [1, \infty)

Range:

Since f(x)=x21f(x) = \sqrt{x^2 - 1}, the smallest value x21x^2 - 1 can take is 00, and there is no upper bound. Therefore, the range is: [0,)[0, \infty)

Graph:

The graph of f(x)=x21f(x) = \sqrt{x^2 - 1} resembles a curve starting from (1,0)(1, 0) and (1,0)(-1, 0), and increases as x|x| increases.


b) Domain and Composition of f(g(x))f(g(x))

Domain of g(x)=2xg(x) = \frac{2}{x}:

The function g(x)g(x) is undefined at x=0x = 0, so the domain is: x(,0)(0,)x \in (-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)

Composition f(g(x))f(g(x)):

For f(g(x))=f(2x)f(g(x)) = f\left( \frac{2}{x} \right), we need to ensure that the argument of f(x)f(x), which is 2x\frac{2}{x}, satisfies the domain condition of f(x)f(x).

We require: (2x)210\left( \frac{2}{x} \right)^2 - 1 \geq 0 Simplifying:

\quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{4 - x^2}{x^2} \geq 0$$ This inequality holds when: $$x^2 \geq 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad |x| \geq 2$$ Thus, the domain of $$f(g(x))$$ is: $$x \in (-\infty, -2] \cup [2, \infty)$$ Would you like more details on any part? Here are a few questions that could expand this: 1. How do you find the derivative of $$f(x)$$? 2. What is the graph of $$g(x)$$? 3. Can you express $$f(g(x))$$ explicitly? 4. How do you solve inequalities involving square roots? 5. What are the applications of function composition in calculus? **Tip**: Always double-check domains when dealing with square roots or rational functions to ensure valid inputs.
