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 :)

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
\[f~o~g(x)=\frac{ 1(x) }{x\left( - \frac{ 1 }{ x }+1 \right)}{}\]
