For this case we find the slopes of each of the lines:

The g line passes through the following points:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 3,2)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 5,9)

So, the slope is:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {9-2} {5-3} = \frac {7} {2}

Line h passes through the following points:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 9,10)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 2,12)

So, the slope is:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}}{x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {12-10} {2-9} = \frac {2} {- 7} = - \frac {2} {7}

By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. If the lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is -1.

It is observed that lines g and h are not parallel. We verify if they are perpendicular:

\frac {7} {2} * - \frac {2} {7} = \frac {-14} {14} = - 1

Thus, the lines are perpendicular.

Answer:

The lines are perpendicular.

Determine whether the statements are True or False. Justify your answer with an explanation.

Problem 1

<h3>Answer: False</h3>

---------------------------------

Explanation:

The notation (f o g)(x) means f( g(x) ). Here g(x) is the inner function.

So,

f(x) = x+1

f( g(x) ) = g(x) + 1 .... replace every x with g(x)

f( g(x) ) = 6x+1 ... plug in g(x) = 6x

(f o g)(x) = 6x+1

Now let's flip things around

g(x) = 6x

g( f(x) ) = 6*( f(x) ) .... replace every x with f(x)

g( f(x) ) = 6(x+1) .... plug in f(x) = x+1

g( f(x) ) = 6x+6

(g o f)(x) = 6x+6

This shows that (f o g)(x) = (g o f)(x)  is a false equation for the given f(x) and g(x) functions.

===============================================

Problem 2

<h3>Answer: True</h3>

---------------------------------

Explanation:

Let's say that g(x) produced a number that wasn't in the domain of f(x). This would mean that f( g(x) ) would be undefined.

For example, let

f(x) = 1/(x+2)

g(x) = -2

The g(x) function will always produce the output -2 regardless of what the input x is. Feeding that -2 output into f(x) leads to 1/(x+2) = 1/(-2+2) = 1/0 which is undefined.

So it's important that the outputs of g(x) line up with the domain of f(x). Outputs of g(x) must be valid inputs of f(x).
