Find gof and fog when f: R → R and g: R → R is defined by (i) f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = x2 + 5(ii) f(x) = 2x + x2 and g(x) = x3(iii) f(x) = x2 + 8 and g(x) = 3x3 + 1 |
Answer» (i) Given function, f: R → R and g: R → R Also given f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = x2 + 5 Then, (fog)(x) = f(g(x)) (ii) Given function, f: R → R and g: R → R f(x) = 2x + x2 and g(x) = x3 (gof)(x)= g(f(x)) = g(2x + x2) = (2x + x2)3 Now, (fog)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(x3) = 2(x3) + (x3)2 = 2x3 + x6 (iii) Given function, f: R → R and g: R → R f(x) = x2 + 8 and g(x) = 3x3 + 1 (gof)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x2 + 8) = 3(x2 + 8)3 + 1 Then, (fog)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(3x3 + 1) = (3x3 + 1)2 + 8 = 9x6 + 6x3 + 1 + 8 = 9x6 + 6x3 + 9 |
