To me personally, the first bit f(g(x)) is easy and the domain is tricky. Let's try explain this.

A function takes an input number and returns an output number depending on the function. Look at f(x) = x+3, if we let the input number be 2 then we say that f(2) = 5. We could do f(π) to give us π+3 or even f(x²) to give us x² +3. The trick is to substitute the input into the function equation.

You have been asked to find f(g(x)). You know f(x) = \frac{1+x}{1-x}. Putting numbers in at this point would be easy (try work out f(2), you'll do it really quick) but you have to put in g(x).

f(g(x)) = \frac{1+g(x)}{1-g(x)}
we also know that g(x) = \frac{x}{1-x} so we can say that
f(g(x)) = \frac{1+ \frac{x}{1-x} }{1- \frac{x}{1-x} } and that is f(g(x)) but the question requires that we simplify it so
\frac{1+ \frac{x}{1-x} }{1- \frac{x}{1-x} }  =  \frac{ \frac{1-x}{1-x} +  \frac{x}{1-x} }{ \frac{1-x}{1-x} - \frac{x}{1-x} } =  \frac{ \frac{1}{1-x} }{ \frac{1-2x}{1-x} } =  \frac{1}{1-2x}

f(g(x)) = \frac{1}{1-2x}

Now for the tricky bit (for me, at least). The domain is the full set of values that you can 'put in to' the function and still get a real value out. So how do we work out what numbers 'break' the function? I like to use the fact that DIVIDING BY ZERO IS IMPOSSIBLE. What value of x can we put into the function to make it so the function is being divided by 0? i.e. 1-2x = 0 solve that and you have a value of x that isn't part of the domain.

This means the domain is all real numbers EXCEPT the solution to that equation. (Because if we put that value into f(g(x)) it's impossible to get a value out.)

[I know this was a lot to read, if you have any questions or don't get anything feel free to message me or leave a comment.]

Which expressions would complete this equation so that it has one solution?
Bad White [126]
Try plugging in the equations
and d are not it because they eliminate x
4x-12=3x-4
x=8
4x-12=6x-18
2x=6
x=3
so both b and c work as answers

The outside of a picture frame measures 14 in and 20 in 196in^2 of the picture shows find the thickness of the frame
LuckyWell [14K]
The described picture frame can be visualized into two separate parts. The first area is equal to the area using the outermost dimensions for the length and width. 
             Area = Length x Height
              Area = (20 in) x (14 in) 
              Area = 280 in²

We are given that the area is only equal to 192 in². We subtract this value from the computed area.
         Difference = 280 in² - 192 in²
               difference = 88 in²

This area is equal to the area of the hollow space inside the frame. That is equal to,
      height = 20 in - 2x
      length = 14 in - 2x

The area,
               88 = (20 - 2x)(14 - 2x)

Simplify the right hand side of the equation.
             88 = 280 - 68x + 4x²

Divide the equation by 4,
            22 = 70 - 17x + x²

Transposing,
                x² - 17x - 48 = 0
The factors of the equation is 58.2. 

Thus, the thickenss is equal to 58.2 in
