Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the given function and the form it needs to be expressed in

The given function is \( h(x) = \frac{1}{x + 8} \). It needs to be expressed in the form \( f(g(x)) \), where \( g(x) = x + 8 \).

Step 2: Define \( g(x) \)

We are given \( g(x) = x + 8 \).

Step 3: Express \( h(x) \) in terms of \( g(x) \)

Since \( g(x) = x + 8 \), we can substitute \( g(x) \) into \( h(x) \): \[ h(x) = \frac{1}{x + 8} = \frac{1}{g(x)} \]

Step 4: Define \( f(x) \)

From the expression \( h(x) = \frac{1}{g(x)} \), we can see that \( f(x) = \frac{1}{x} \).

Final Answer

\[ f(x) = \frac{1}{x} \]
