Medal for UR help:
here we have to write the function g(f(x)). What is the function g(f(x))?
f is the f(x) on and g is the (x) one
I think it wonts you to combine them
yes!
hint: \[\Large g\left( {f\left( x \right)} \right) = \sqrt {f\left( x \right) + 1} = ...?\]
you have to replace f(x) with its definition, or formula
crap i forgot
ok I got another fraction
hint: \[\Large g\left( {f\left( x \right)} \right) = \sqrt {f\left( x \right) + 1} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{{{x^2} - 1}} + 1} = ...?\]
(x+2) and (x-1)
we have to simplify that expression, as below: \[\Large \begin{gathered} g\left( {f\left( x \right)} \right) = \sqrt {f\left( x \right) + 1} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{{{x^2} - 1}} + 1} = \hfill \\ = \sqrt {\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{x^2} - 1}}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \] Now the last radical exists, if the subsequent inequality is checked: \[\Large \frac{{{x^2}}}{{{x^2} - 1}} \geqslant 0\]
so you have to solve this inequality: \[\Large \frac{{{x^2}}}{{{x^2} - 1}} \geqslant 0\]
do you know how to solve that inequality?
since the numerator is always positive and it is zero at x=0, then we have to solve this equivalent inequality: \[\Large {x^2} - 1 > 0\]
i can so it its : |dw:1432144370641:dw|
ok so we can write this: domain of g(f(x)) is the intersection between these two sets: real line and (-infinity, -1) union (1,+infinity) so we have: |dw:1432144675863:dw| so the requested domain is: \[\left( { - \infty , - 1} \right) \cup \left( {1, + \infty } \right)\]
