The function composition exists an operation " ∘ " that brings two functions f and g, and has a function h = g ∘ f such that h(x) = g(f(x)).
Let the functions be f(x) = 4x² + 1 and g(x) = x² - 3
The correct answer is (f o g)(x) = 4x⁴ - 96x + 37 and
(g o f)(x) = 16x⁴ + 8x² - 2.
The function composition exists an operation " ∘ " that brings two functions f and g, and has a function h = g ∘ f such that h(x) = g(f(x)). In this operation, the function g exists used for the outcome of applying the function f to x.
Given:
f(x) = 4x² + 1 and g(x) = x² - 3
a) (f o g)(x) = f[g(x)]
f[g(x)] = 4(x² - 3)² + 1
substitute the value of g(x) in the above equation, and we get
= 4(x⁴ - 24x + 9) + 1
simplifying the above equation
= 4x⁴ - 96x + 36 + 1
= 4x⁴ - 96x + 37
(f o g)(x) = 4x⁴ - 96x + 37
b) (g o f)(x) = g[f(x)]
substitute the value of g(x) in the above equation, and we get
g[f(x)] = (4x² + 1)²- 3
= 16x⁴ + 8x² + 1 - 3
simplifying the above equation
= 16x⁴ + 8x² - 2
(g o f)(x) = 16x⁴ + 8x² - 2.
Therefore, the correct answer is (f o g)(x) = 4x⁴ - 96x + 37 and
(g o f)(x) = 16x⁴ + 8x² - 2.
