(gof)(0) cannot be evaluated

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

f(x) = \frac{1}{x}\\\\g(x) = x - 4

A composite function is denoted by (g o f) (x) = g (f(x)).

The notation g o f is read as “g of f”

Therefore, let us find whether (gof)(0) can be evaluated or not

To find (gof)(0):

(g o f) (x) = g (f(x))

Now substitute the given value of f(x)

(g o f) (x) = g(\frac{1}{x})

\text{ Substitute } x = \frac{1}{x} \text{ in } g(x) = x - 4

(g o f) (x) = \frac{1}{x} - 4

Now to find (gof)(0), substitute x = 0

(g o f) (x) = \frac{1}{0} - 4

Since 1 divided by 0 is undefined, because any number divided by 0 is undefined

(gof)(0) cannot be evaluated

Answer:

You must evaluate the function f first.

Division by 0 is undefined.

The composition cannot be evaluated.

Which statement describes the end behavior of the exponential function f(x) = 2x – 3?
charle [14.2K]
The <u>correct answer</u> is:

As x→-∞, y→-3.
As x→∞, y→∞.

Explanation:

As our values of x get further into the negative numbers, the value of 2ˣ will approach 0.  This is because raising a number to a negative exponent "flips" the number below the denominator and raises it to a power; we end up with smaller and smaller fractions, eventually so small that they nearly equal 0.  

This will make the value of the function 0-3=-3.

As x gets larger and larger (towards ∞), the value of y, 2ˣ, continues to grow as well.  Since it continues to grow exponentially, we say the value approaches ∞.
