Math Problem Statement

Diketahui f∘g(x) = 2x^2 − 4x + 3 dan f(x) = 2x − 1. Tentukanlah g(x)!

Solution

The problem asks you to find g(x)g(x), given that:

fg(x)=2x24x+3andf(x)=2x1f \circ g(x) = 2x^2 - 4x + 3 \quad \text{and} \quad f(x) = 2x - 1

Step-by-step solution:

  1. The composition fg(x)f \circ g(x) means that: f(g(x))=2x24x+3f(g(x)) = 2x^2 - 4x + 3
  2. Since f(x)=2x1f(x) = 2x - 1, we replace f(g(x))f(g(x)) with 2g(x)12g(x) - 1: 2g(x)1=2x24x+32g(x) - 1 = 2x^2 - 4x + 3
  3. Now, solve for g(x)g(x): 2g(x)=2x24x+3+12g(x) = 2x^2 - 4x + 3 + 1 2g(x)=2x24x+42g(x) = 2x^2 - 4x + 4
  4. Divide both sides by 2: g(x)=x22x+2g(x) = x^2 - 2x + 2

Thus, g(x)=x22x+2g(x) = x^2 - 2x + 2.
