Domain of a composite function

The domain of the composite function is the set of all inputs that allow both the inner and outer functions to be defined.

Finding the domain of a composite function

The domain of the composite function is the set of all input values of the inner function that result in an output that is within the domain of the outer function.

Composite function restrictions

The domain of the composed function includes the restrictions of both the inner and outer functions.

Composition of functions (f o g)

f(g(x)) represents the composition of functions f and g, where the output of g(x) is used as the input for f(x).

Study Notes

Composite Function Domain

  • Steps to find the domain of a composite function:
    • Find the domain of the inner function.
    • Find the domain of the composed function (result).
    • The final domain must include the restrictions from both the inner and composed functions.

Function Compositions

  • f(x) = √x, g(x) = √x, h(x) = 1/x
    • f(g(x)) = √√x = √x - Domain: x ≥ 0
    • h(f(x)) = 1/√x - Domain: x > 0
    • g(f(x)) = √√x = √x - Domain: x ≥ 0
    • f(h(x)) = √(1/x) - Domain: x > 0
    • h(g(x)) = 1/√x - Domain: x > 0
    • n(x) = x + 5

Specific Function Compositions

  • p(x) = x² - 10x + 25:
  • p(n(x)) = (x + 5)² - 10(x + 5) + 25 = x² - 5 +25- Domain: all real numbers
