Final answer:

The range of the composite function (u \u2218 v)(x), given u(x) = -2x^2 and v(x) = 1/x, is all real numbers greater than 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for the range of the composite function (u \u2218 v)(x), where u(x) = -2x2 and v(x) = 1/x. To find the composite function, we substitute v(x) into u(x), getting u(v(x)) = u(1/x) = -2(1/x)2 = -2/x2. The range of -2/x2 is all real numbers greater than 0, because the function will never reach zero or negative values as x gets increasingly larger or smaller.

Answer:

(−∞, 0) ∪ (0, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

u(x) = -2x²


V(x)=\sqrt{(1)/(x) }

Determining UoV(x) :


UoV(x)=U(V(x))=-2\left( \sqrt{(1)/(x) } \right)^(2)

Then


UoV(x)=U(V(x))=-2 * (1)/(x)

Then


UoV(x)=U(V(x))=- (2)/(x)

Since the range of -2/x is all real numbers except zero

Then

The range of UoV is :

(−∞, 0) ∪ (0, ∞)
