OpenStudy (angel.candy):
g(f(x)) = g(-4x+3)
=> g(f(x)) = 1/[(-4x+3) + 2]
=> g(f(x)) = 1/(5 − 4x)
the domain of g(f(x)) is {x ∈ ℝ : x ≠ 5/4} as x = 5/4 would result in division by zero.
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
Okay so you have all the parts in order right, I just write as is?
OpenStudy (angel.candy):
Yep :)
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
and the domain ? Its not quite clear :/ how would I write that on paper

The domain would result in zero. g(f(x)) is not defined for 1/0, no number is defined when divided by zero, therefore it is a restriction upon the function as it cannot give an image where the denominator is zero.
Therefore (5 - 4x) = 0
5 = 4x
1.25 = x
Hence g(f(x)) has the restriction x =/= 1.25
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
So if I'm understanding you correctly the domain is 0? and that is how I would write it on paper
OpenStudy (angel.candy):
No, no. A restricted domain results when the denominator is zero, sorry I didn't explain well. Your restriction would be 1.25 because of
herefore (5 - 4x) = 0
5 = 4x
1.25 = x
Hence g(f(x)) has the restriction x =/= 1.25
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
So the domain is ?
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
x=/=1.25

Yes that is the restricted domain
OpenStudy (angel.candy):
:)
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
and that is the only answer right for step 3?
OpenStudy (angel.candy):
yes. :)
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
Thanks babe <3
