I have two problems:
1. Find f(g)(x) when f(x)=x^2 - 7x +12 and g(x)= 7/x^2 - 16.
2. Find the inverse function for f(x)=(sqrt2x-6).
1.(f⋅g)(x)=(x2−7x+12)(7x2−16)=7−49x+84x2−16x2+112x−192=−16x2+112x−185−49x+84x2
2.f(x)=√2x−6y=√2x−6x=√2y−6√2y=x+62y=x2+12x+36y=x22+6x+18f−1(x)=x22+6x+18
1. Find f(g)(x) when f(x)=x^2 - 7x +12 and g(x)= 7/x^2 - 16.
idk Max, I think this is the answer...
f(g(x))or(f⋅g)(x)whenf(x)=x2−7x+12andg(x)=7x2−16 (f⋅g)(x)=(7x2−16)2−7(7x2−16)+12=(49x4−[2∗7x2∗16]+256)−(49x2−112)+12=49x4−224x2+256−49x2+112+12=49x4−273x2+380
2. Find the inverse function for f(x)=(sqrt2x-6).
When you do part 2 max you must be very careful of the domain.
f(x)=(sqrt2x-6).
y=√2x−6
Straight away I see that x must be greater or equal to 0 and y must be greater than or equal to -6
so when you take the inverse x>=-6 and y>=0
f(x)=√2x−6y=√2x−6y+6=√2x(y+6)2=2xx=(y+6)22the inverse function becomesf−1(x)=(x+6)22wherex≥−6
Here are the 2 graphs drawn with Desmos graphing calculator.
NOTE that the invers of a function is the reflection of it across the line y=x. It is important that you understand and remember this.
