The statement that -6 is in the domain of f(g(x)) is true

Complete question

If f(x) = -2x + 8 and g(x) = [tex]\sqrt{x + 9[/tex], which statement is true?

  • -6 is in the domain of f(g(x))
  • -6 is not in the domain of f(g(x))

How to determine the true statement?

We have:

f(x) = -2x + 8

[tex]g(x) = \sqrt{x + 9[/tex]

Start by calculating the function f(g(x)) using:

f(g(x)) = -2g(x) + 8

Substitute [tex]g(x) = \sqrt{x + 9[/tex]

[tex]f(g(x)) = -2\sqrt{x + 9} + 8[/tex]

Set the radicand to at least 0

[tex]x + 9 \ge 0[/tex]

Subtract 9 from both sides

[tex]x \ge -9[/tex]

This means that the domain of f(g(x)) are real numbers greater than or equal to -9. i.e. -9, -8, -7, -6, ...........

Hence, the statement that -6 is in the domain of f(g(x)) is true
