Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image contains two functions and , and you're tasked with finding the compositions and , as well as determining the domain of each composite function.
Let's break down each part:
1.
This is the composition , meaning we substitute into .
Since and , we get:
Domain of :
For , is defined for all , since division by zero is undefined. Therefore, the domain of is:
2.
This is the composition , meaning we substitute into .
Since and , we get:
Domain of :
For , the expression is undefined when , which simplifies to . Therefore, the domain of is:
Final Answer:
- , with domain
- , with domain
Would you like more details or have any questions on this?
Here are five related questions to deepen your understanding:
- How would the composition change if were a quadratic function?
- What happens to the domain if we combine more than two functions?
- Can you identify other functions that would restrict the domain even further?
- How do you find the range of a composite function like ?
- What is the significance of the domain when graphing these composite functions?
Tip: Always check the domain of both the inner and outer functions when composing two functions. The result must satisfy the conditions of both.
