Math Problem Statement
The function h(x)=1 /x+9 can be expressed in the form f(g(x)), where g(x)=(x+9), and f(x) is defined as: f(x) =
Solution
To express the function in the form , where , we need to determine the function .
We know that , so when we substitute this into , we get:
This means that , since we are applying the function to to get .
Therefore, .
