more help

OpenStudy (matthew120):

its ok beautiful

OpenStudy (matthew120):

c d a in that exact order

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

question #1 we can write this: \[\Large g\left( {f\left( x \right)} \right) = \sqrt {f\left( x \right) + 4} = \sqrt {\left( {{x^2} + 3} \right) + 4} = \sqrt {{x^2} + 7} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, we have: \[\Large g\left( {f\left( 3 \right)} \right) = \sqrt {{3^2} + 7} = \sqrt {9 + 7} = ...?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm hold on

OpenStudy (bjb2000):

c d a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

and what is \(\sqrt{16}=...?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

23

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that the square root of 16 is 4, am I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, what is the right option?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct!

OpenStudy (bjb2000):

hey

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay what about 2

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

question #2 we can write this: \[\large f\left( {g\left( x \right)} \right) = \sqrt {g\left( x \right) - 3} = \sqrt {4x - {x^2} - 3} = \sqrt {{x^2} + 4x - 3} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i solve this?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

now, the domain of such composed function, is given by all values of \(x\), such that: \[\huge {x^2} + 4x - 3 \geqslant 0\] since the square root of negative numbers doesn't exist. So we have to solve such inequality

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

sorry I have made an error, here is the right equation: \[\large f\left( {g\left( x \right)} \right) = \sqrt {g\left( x \right) - 3} = \sqrt {4x - {x^2} - 3} = \sqrt { - \left( {{x^2} - 4x + 3} \right)} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, we have to solve this inequality: \[ - \left( {{x^2} - 4x + 3} \right) \geqslant 0\] which is equivalent to this one: \[\huge {x^2} - 4x + 3 \leqslant 0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: please try to solve this equation: \[\huge {x^2} - 4x + 3 = 0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=1 and x=3

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct! Now, from the general theory of inequality, the solution of: \[\Large {x^2} - 4x + 3 \leqslant 0\] is given by the subsequent interval: \[\Large x \in \left( {1,\;3} \right)\] namely: \[\Large 1 \leqslant x \leqslant 3\] geometrically speaking, we can visualize such solution, as below: |dw:1454956497496:dw|
