Q. f(z)=(13)zh(z)=z+4z2 \begin{array}{l} f(z)=\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{z} \\ h(z)=\frac{z+4}{z-2} \end{array} \newlineEvaluate.\newline(hf)(0)= (h \circ f)(0)=
  1. Understanding composition of functions: Understand the composition of functions. The composition of two functions (hf)(x)(h \circ f)(x) means we first apply ff to xx, and then apply hh to the result of f(x)f(x).
  2. Evaluating f(0)f(0): Evaluate f(0)f(0).
    f(z)=(13)zf(z) = (\frac{1}{3})^z
    f(0)=(13)0f(0) = (\frac{1}{3})^0
    Since any non-zero number to the power of 00 is 11, we have:
    f(0)=1f(0) = 1
  3. Substituting f(0)f(0) into h(z)h(z): Substitute f(0)f(0) into h(z)h(z). Now we need to evaluate hh at the result of f(0)f(0), which is h(1)h(1). h(z)=z+4z2h(z) = \frac{z + 4}{z - 2} h(1)=1+412h(1) = \frac{1 + 4}{1 - 2}
  4. Calculating h(1)h(1): Calculate h(1)h(1).
    h(1)=(1+4)(12)h(1) = \frac{(1 + 4)}{(1 - 2)}
    h(1)=5(1)h(1) = \frac{5}{(-1)}
    h(1)=5h(1) = -5
  5. Concluding the value of (hf)(0)(h \circ f)(0): Conclude the value of the composition (hf)(0)(h \circ f)(0).(hf)(0)(h \circ f)(0) is the value of hh at f(0)f(0), which we found to be h(1)=5h(1) = -5. Therefore, (hf)(0)=5(h \circ f)(0) = -5.
