The image contains a set of mathematical problems that ask the user to perform operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and composition of functions. The specific operations involve functions such as f(x) = x / (x - 1), g(x) = 1 / sqrt(1 + x^2), and others.
Solution
Let's solve these questions step by step:
1. Given Functions:
f(x)=x−1x and g(x)=1+x21
We are asked to find the following values:
a) (f+g)(2):
(f+g)(2)=f(2)+g(2)
f(2)=2−12=2
g(2)=1+221=51
Thus:
(f+g)(2)=2+51
b) (f⋅g)(0):
(f⋅g)(0)=f(0)⋅g(0)
f(0)=0−10=0
g(0)=1+021=1
Thus:
(f⋅g)(0)=0⋅1=0
c) (fg)(3):
(fg)(3)=f(3)g(3)
f(3)=3−13=23
g(3)=1+321=101
Thus:
(fg)(3)=23101=3102
d) (f∘g)(0):
(f∘g)(0)=f(g(0))
g(0)=1
f(1)=1−11, which is undefined.
Thus, (f∘g)(0) is undefined.
e) (f⋅g)(8):
(f⋅g)(8)=f(8)⋅g(8)
f(8)=8−18=22−122
g(8)=1+(8)21=91=31
Thus:
(f⋅g)(8)=22−122⋅31
f) (g∘f)(0):
(g∘f)(0)=g(f(0))
f(0)=0
g(0)=1
Thus:
(g∘f)(0)=g(0)=1
2. Given Functions:
f(x)=x2+x and g(x)=x+32
We are asked to find the following values:
a) (f−g)(2):
(f−g)(2)=f(2)−g(2)
f(2)=22+2=6
g(2)=2+32=52
Thus:
(f−g)(2)=6−52=530−52=528
b) (gf)(1):
(gf)(1)=g(1)f(1)
f(1)=12+1=2
g(1)=1+32=42=21
Thus:
(gf)(1)=212=4
c) g2(3):
g2(3)=(g(3))2
g(3)=3+32=62=31
Thus:
g2(3)=(31)2=91
d) (f∘g)(1):
(f∘g)(1)=f(g(1))
g(1)=21
f(21)=(21)2+21=41+21=43
Thus:
(f∘g)(1)=43
e) (g∘f)(1):
(g∘f)(1)=g(f(1))
f(1)=2
g(2)=52
Thus:
(g∘f)(1)=52
Let me know if you'd like further details or explanations.
Here are five questions for you to consider:
How can we determine if a composition of functions is defined or undefined?
What is the significance of finding the domain of the composed functions?
Can the values of functions change if they are composed in a different order?
How do we handle undefined results in function evaluation?
How does the behavior of functions change when their domains are restricted?
Tip: Always check the domains of both functions before performing compositions to avoid undefined operations.
