Questions: Find two nontrivial functions (f(x)) and (g(x)) so (f(g(x))=frac6(x+8)^4)
Transcript text: Find two nontrivial functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ so $f(g(x))=\frac{6}{(x+8)^{4}}$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Define g(x)
Let g(x)=x+8. This transformation shifts the input x by 8, simplifying the expression we need to work with.
Step 2: Define f(x)
Let f(x)=x46. This function is designed to take the output of g(x) and produce the desired result when composed with g(x).
Step 3: Compute the Composition
Now, we compute the composition f(g(x)):
f(g(x))=f(x+8)=(x+8)46
This matches the required expression (x+8)46, confirming that our choices for f(x) and g(x) are correct.
