Math Problem Statement

find f of g of h, f(X)= absolute value of x-f, g(x)=2^x, g(h) = square root of x

Solution

To find f(g(h(x)))f(g(h(x))), where:

  • f(x)=xff(x) = |x - f|
  • g(x)=2xg(x) = 2^x
  • h(x)=xh(x) = \sqrt{x}

Step 1: Substitute h(x)h(x) into g(x)g(x)

Since h(x)=xh(x) = \sqrt{x}, we substitute h(x)h(x) into g(x)g(x):

g(h(x))=g(x)=2xg(h(x)) = g(\sqrt{x}) = 2^{\sqrt{x}}

Step 2: Substitute g(h(x))g(h(x)) into f(x)f(x)

Now we substitute g(h(x))=2xg(h(x)) = 2^{\sqrt{x}} into f(x)f(x):

f(g(h(x)))=f(2x)=2xff(g(h(x))) = f(2^{\sqrt{x}}) = |2^{\sqrt{x}} - f|

Final Answer:

The function f(g(h(x)))f(g(h(x))) is:

f(g(h(x)))=2xff(g(h(x))) = |2^{\sqrt{x}} - f|

Here are five related questions to explore:

  1. How would the function change if h(x)=x2h(x) = x^2 instead of h(x)=xh(x) = \sqrt{x}?
  2. What happens to f(g(h(x)))f(g(h(x))) if x=0x = 0?
  3. How would you evaluate f(g(h(x)))f(g(h(x))) for specific values of xx?
  4. How does the graph of f(g(h(x)))f(g(h(x))) look for different ranges of xx?
  5. Can we solve for f(g(h(x)))=0f(g(h(x))) = 0 for a particular xx?

Tip: Pay attention to the order of operations when composing functions, as it can greatly affect the final result.
