Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question in the image asks whether the following statement is true or false:
"Let and each represent functions. The composition function of and is defined as , where is an element in the domain of , and is an element in the domain of ."
This statement is False, and here's why:
The correct definition of the composition of two functions is , not . Additionally, for the composition to be valid:
- must belong to the domain of ,
- must belong to the domain of .
Thus, the original statement reverses the order of the composition and is incorrect.
Let me know if you'd like further details or explanations!
Here are 5 questions related to this topic:
- What are the conditions for the composition of two functions to be defined?
- How can you determine the domain of a composite function?
- What is the difference between and ?
- Can a composite function exist if the range of the inner function does not overlap with the domain of the outer function?
- How do you evaluate a composite function given specific functions and ?
Tip: Always ensure the correct order of function composition——when working with composite functions.
