find Fog (x)

OpenStudy (rosepetalingg):

could someone explain how to do this please?

OpenStudy (peachpi):

Is this f(x)?\[f(x)=\frac{ 1 }{ x }+1\]

OpenStudy (rosepetalingg):

\[1 /x+1\]

OpenStudy (rosepetalingg):

x+1 is the denominator

OpenStudy (peachpi):

ok got ya. next time put the denominator in parentheses to avoid confusion :)

OpenStudy (rosepetalingg):

okay sorry Lol

OpenStudy (peachpi):

to solve this, you have to replace the x in f(x) with the expression from g(x).\[f(x)=\frac{ 1 }{ x+1 }\] replace the \(x\) with \(-\frac{1}{x}\). \[f~o~g(x)=f(g(x))=\frac{ 1 }{ - \frac{ 1 }{ x }+1}\] Do you know how to simplify that?

OpenStudy (rosepetalingg):

Yeah I got to there I just dont know how to simplify :( the fraction within a fraction confuses me

OpenStudy (peachpi):

you have to multiply both numerator and denominator by the common denominator. In this case, \(x\) is the only denominator \[f~o~g(x)=\frac{ 1(x) }{x\left( - \frac{ 1 }{ x }+1 \right)}{}\]
