Let f(x)=1x−4 and g(x)=5x+11.Then (f∘g)(3)=◻,(f∘g)(x)=◻.
(f∘g)(x)=15x+7.
Step 1 :Given the functions f(x)=1x−4 and g(x)=5x+11, we are asked to find the composition of these functions, denoted as (f∘g)(x) and (f∘g)(3).
Step 2 :The notation (f∘g)(x) means f(g(x)).
Step 3 :First, let's find (f∘g)(3).
Step 4 :We know that g(3)=5∗3+11=26.
Step 5 :So, (f∘g)(3)=f(g(3))=f(26).
Step 6 :We know that f(x)=1x−4, so f(26)=126−4=122.
Step 7 :(f∘g)(3)=122.
Step 8 :Next, let's find (f∘g)(x).
Step 9 :We know that g(x)=5x+11, so (f∘g)(x)=f(g(x))=f(5x+11).
Step 10 :We know that f(x)=1x−4, so f(5x+11)=15x+11−4=15x+7.
Step 11 :(f∘g)(x)=15x+7.
