Find f(x) and g(x) as y=f(g(x))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=3/(sqrt3x+4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey @Luigi0210 can I get a bit of help for this one? =3

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

I would set it apart as \[f(x)=\frac{ 3 }{ \sqrt{x} }\] So guess what g(x) gets to be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/sqrt4?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

\[y=\frac{ 3 }{ \sqrt{3x+4} }\] This is the equation right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup, thats the one

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

f(g(x)) means plug in the value of g(x) into f(x)

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

so what can you replace x with in f(x) to get that equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The inverse?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

\[f(x)=\frac{ 3 }{ \sqrt{x} }\] if we replace x, what does x have to equal to be:\[f(g(x))=\frac{ 3 }{ \sqrt{3x+4} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x+4?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

there you go :D

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

So there are your two equations \[f(x)=\frac{ 3 }{ \sqrt{x} }\] and \[g(x)=3x+4\]

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

and there are many ways to write the same equation, so don't think my example is the only right solution
