Can someone please check my answers? 1. Given f(x) = 1/x-1 and g(x) = 1/ x+4 , find the domain for (fog)(x) I got (-oo,-3)U(-3,oo) 2. Given f(x) = sqrt(x+2) and g(x) = 1/x, find (fog)(x) I got (fog)(x) = sqrt(1+2x/x)

fog?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f time g

geerky42 (geerky42):

\[(f\circ g)(x) = f(~g(x)~)\]@zimmah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright let's see then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First one seems correct to me, second one haven't checked yet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'd say the second one is not correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do yoy think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, (fog)(x) means you put g(x) 'into' f(x). You do this be replacing the 'x' in f(x) by the whole function of g(x). So Replacing the x in sqrt(x+2) with 1/x would make sqrt(1/x+2) \[\sqrt{\frac{ 1 }{ x }+2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay I see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm going to open another post with more questions, mind helping again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure, no problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you write @zimmah when i'm online (or other users you know that can help you like geerky) when they are online they will get an alert. Although I do also do other things in the main time so i may not always notice until hours later.
