Answer» (i) Given as f(x) = ex, g(x) = loge x Let f: R → (0, ∞); and g: (0, ∞) → R Let us calculate fog, Clearly, the range of g is a subset of the domain of f. fog: (0, ∞) → R (fog)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(loge x) = loge ex = x Let us calculate gof, Clearly, the range of f is a subset of the domain of g. ⇒ fog: R→ R (gof)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(ex) = loge ex = x (ii) f(x) = x2, g(x) = cos x f: R→ [0, ∞); g: R → [−1, 1] Let us calculate fog, Clearly, the range of g is not a subset of the domain of f. ⇒ Domain (fog) = {x: x ∈ domain of g and g (x) ∈ domain of f} ⇒ Domain (fog) = x: x ∈ R and cos x ∈ R} ⇒ Domain of (fog) = R (fog): R→ R (fog)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(cos x) = cos2 x Let us calculate gof, Clearly, the range of f is a subset of the domain of g. ⇒ fog: R→R (gof)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x2) = cos x2 (iii) Given f(x) = |x|, g(x) = sin x f: R → (0, ∞) ; g : R → [−1, 1] Let us calculate fog, Clearly, the range of g is a subset of the domain of f. ⇒ fog: R → R (fog)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(sin x) = |sin x| Let us calculate gof, Clearly, the range of f is a subset of the domain of g. ⇒ fog : R→ R (gof)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(|x|) = sin |x| (iv) Given f(x) = x + 1, g(x) = ex f: R → R ; g: R → [ 1, ∞) Let us calculate fog: Clearly, range of g is a subset of domain of f. ⇒ fog: R → R (fog)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(ex) = ex + 1 Let us compute gof, Clearly, range of f is a subset of domain of g. ⇒ fog: R → R (gof)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x + 1) = ex+1 (v) Given f(x) = sin−1 x, g(x) = x2 f: [−1,1] → [(-π)/2,π/2]; g : R → [0, ∞) Let us compute the fog: Clearly, the range of g is not a subset of the domain of f. Domain (fog) = {x: x ∈ domain of g and g (x) ∈ domain of f} Domain (fog) = {x: x ∈ R and x2 ∈ [−1, 1]} Domain (fog) = {x: x ∈ R and x ∈ [−1, 1]} Domain of (fog) = [−1, 1] fog: [−1,1] → R (fog)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(x2) = sin−1(x2) Let us compute the gof: Clearly, the range of f is a subset of the domain of g. fog: [−1, 1] → R (gof)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(sin−1 x) = (sin−1 x)2 |
