Question

Which statement best describes g(x) = 3x + 6 - 8 and the parent function f(x) = } ?

Answer 1

Answer:

In general gf(x) is not equal to fg(x)

Some pairs of functions cannot be composed. Some pairs of functions can be composed only  for certain values of x.

Only with they can be composed some values of x are the ranges of g(x) and f(x) are the same, and their domains are also the same. Or else lies inside it.

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = 3x + 6 - 8, f(x) = √x.

The domain of a composed function is either the same as the domain of the first function, or  else lies inside it

The range of a composed function is either the same as the range of the second function, or else lies inside it.

Or vice versa

Now only positive numbers, or zero, have real square roots. So g is defined only for numbers

greater than or equal to zero. Therefore g(f(x)) can have a value only if f(x) is greater than or

equal to zero. You can work out that

f(x) ≥ 0 only when x ≥3/2
