The correct answer is: 3) " x ; 1/2" .
_____________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_____________________________________________________
Question 1)

g [ f(x) ] = ? ;

→ Given: " f(x) = 1/3 x " ;

→ Given: " g(x) = 3x " ;
__________________________________
g [ f(x) ] = g(1/3 x) = 3(1/3 x) = 1x = "x" .
__________________________________
Question 2)

g [ f(1/2) ] = ? ;
__________________________________
Given: " f(x) = 1/3 x " ;

f(1/2) = (1/3) * (1/2) = (1*1) / (3*2) = (1/6) ;

→ g [ f(x) ] =

g(1/6) = 3* (1/6) = (3/1) * (1/6) = (3*1) / (1*6) = 3/6 = (3÷3) / (6÷3) = " 1/2 " .
