How do you find #(f @ g)(x)# and its domain, #(g @ f)(x)# and its domain,# (f @ g)(-2) # and #(g @ f)(-2)# of the following problem #f(x) = x+ 2#, #g(x) = 2x^2#?
To find ( (f @ g)(x) ), ( (g @ f)(x) ), ( (f @ g)(-2) ), and ( (g @ f)(-2) ) for the functions ( f(x) = x + 2 ) and ( g(x) = 2x^2 ), follow these steps:
-
( (f @ g)(x) ) is obtained by substituting ( g(x) ) into ( f(x) ). So, ( (f @ g)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(2x^2) = 2x^2 + 2 ).
The domain of ( (f @ g)(x) ) is the set of all real numbers since there are no restrictions on the domain of ( 2x^2 + 2 ).
-
( (g @ f)(x) ) is obtained by substituting ( f(x) ) into ( g(x) ). So, ( (g @ f)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x + 2) = 2(x + 2)^2 = 2(x^2 + 4x + 4) = 2x^2 + 8x + 8 ).
The domain of ( (g @ f)(x) ) is also the set of all real numbers.
-
To find ( (f @ g)(-2) ), substitute ( -2 ) into ( 2x^2 + 2 ): ( (f @ g)(-2) = 2(-2)^2 + 2 = 2(4) + 2 = 10 ).
-
To find ( (g @ f)(-2) ), substitute ( -2 ) into ( 2x^2 + 8x + 8 ): ( (g @ f)(-2) = 2(-2)^2 + 8(-2) + 8 = 2(4) - 16 + 8 = 16 - 16 + 8 = 8 ).
So, ( (f @ g)(-2) = 10 ) and ( (g @ f)(-2) = 8 ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
