Consider the functions f and g defined by \[f(x) = \sqrt{\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}}\qquad\qquad\text{and}\qquad\qquad g(x) = \dfrac{\sqrt

{x+1}}{\sqrt{x-1}}.\]Explain why f and g are not the same function.

Answer:

The given functions are not same because the domain of both functions are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are

f(x)= \sqrt{\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}}

g(x) = \dfrac{\sqrt{x+1}}{\sqrt{x-1}}

First find the domain of both functions. Radicand can not be negative.

Domain of f(x):

\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}>0

This is possible if both numerator or denominator are either positive or negative.

Case 1: Both numerator or denominator are positive.

x+1\geq 0\Rightarrow x\geq -1

x-1\geq 0\Rightarrow x\geq 1

So, the function is defined for x≥1.

Case 2: Both numerator or denominator are negative.

x+1\leq 0\Rightarrow x\leq -1

x-1\leq 0\Rightarrow x\leq 1

So, the function is defined for x≤-1.

From case 1 and 2 the domain of the function f(x) is (-∞,-1]∪[1,∞).

Domain of g(x):

x+1\geq 0\Rightarrow x\geq -1

x-1\geq 0\Rightarrow x\geq 1

So, the function is defined for x≥1.

So, domain of g(x) is [1,∞).

Therefore, the given functions are not same because the domain of both functions are different.

KIM [24]
You just add all the numbers together:
3 1/8+ 4 1/2+ 4 1/4
=25/8+9/2+17/4
=25/8+36/8+34/8
=95/8
=11 7/8

Ugh.. did you type in the numbers correctly? My guess would be it was meant to be B tho :)
