Q. f(x)=x+12−xg(x)=18−3xWrite (f∘g)(x) as an expression in terms of x.(f∘g)(x)=
Understanding f@g)(x)</b>First,let′sunderstandwhat$f@g)(x)means.Thenotation$f@g)(x)representsthecompositionofthefunctions$f and g, which means we need to apply g first and then apply f to the result of g. In other words, we need to substitute g(x) into f(x) wherever there is an x.
Expressions for f(x) and g(x): Now let's write down the expressions for f(x) and g(x) to see what we are working with:f(x)=x+12−xg(x)=18−3xWe will substitute g(x) into f(x) in place of x.
Substituting g(x) into f(x): Substitute g(x) into f(x): (f∘g)(x)=f(g(x))=f(18−3x)=(18−3x)+12−(18−3x)
Simplifying the numerator and denominator: Now, simplify the numerator and the denominator of the fraction:Numerator: 2−(18−3x)=2−18+3x=3x−16Denominator: (18−3x)+1=18−3x+1=19−3xSo, (f@g)(x)=19−3x3x−16
