Math Problem Statement
The function h(x) = 1 / (x + 7) can be expressed in the form f(g(x)), where g(x) = (x + 7), and f(x) is defined as f(x) = ?
Solution
The given problem asks to express the function in the form , where and we need to find the function .
We know that:
To express this as , substitute into :
Thus, the function should be:
So, the answer is:
