Question

Function Composition:

Let the function
`f(x)= 3x + 2` and
`g(x) = (x+3)/(2x-10)` , determine:

Answer 1

Given

• f(x) = 3x + 2
• g(x) = (x + 3) / (2x - 10)

#1

• g · f(x) =
• g(f(x)) =
• (3x + 2 + 3)/ (2(3x + 2) - 10) =
• (3x + 5) / (6x - 6)

#2

• f · g(x) =
• f(g(x)) =
• 3[(3x + 2) / (2x - 10)] + 2 =
• (9x + 6) / (2x - 10) + 2 =
• (9x + 6 + 4x - 20)/ (2x - 10) =
• (13x - 14) / (2x - 10)
