We compose the 2 given functions in this
way:
(fog)(x) = f(g(x))
We
notice that the variable x was replaced by the function g(x). According to this, we'll
write the function f(g(x)) by substituting x by g(x) in the original expression of
f(x):
f(g(x)) = [g(x)]^2 +
5
f(g(x)) = (sqrt 2x)^2 +
5
(fog)(x) = f(g(x)) = 2x +
5
Now, we'll compose gof and we'll
get:
(gof)(x) = g(f(x))
We
notice that the variable x was replaced by the function f(x). According to this, we'll
write the function g(f(x)) by substituting x by f(x) in the original expression of
g(x):
g(f(x)) = sqrt
2f(x)
(gof)(x) = g(f(x)) = sqrt
2(x^2+5)
As we can remark, the result of the
2 compositions is not the same!
