Question

If h(x) = 5 x and k(x)=1/x, which expression is equivalent to (koh)(x)?

Answer 1

The answer is B!! 1/(5+x)

Explanation:

Answer 2

may be there is an operator missing in the first function, h(x). I will solve this in two ways, 1) as if the h(x) = 5x and 2) as if h(x) = 5 + x

1) If h(x) = 5x and k(x) = 1/x

Then (k o h) (x) = k ( h(x) ) = k(5x) = 1/(5x)

2) If h(x) = 5 + x and k (x) = 1/x

Then (k o h)(x) =k ( h(x) ) = k (5+x) = 1 / [5 + x]
