(ii) (fg)(x)

(iii) (fg)(x)

(iv) (ff)(x)

(v) (gg)(x)

(vi) (fg)(x)

Solution

Clearly, f(x)=x+2 is defined for all xϵR such that

x+20, i.e., x2

dom(f)=[2,)

Again, g(x)=4x2 is defined for all xϵR such that

4x20

But, 4x20x240(x+2)(x2)0xϵ[2,2]

dom (g)=[2,2]

dom (f)dom (g)=[2,][2,2]=[2,2]

(i) (f+g):[2,2]R is given by

(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)=x+2+4x2

(ii) (fg):[2,2]R is given by

(fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)=x+24x2

(iii) (fg):[2,2]R is given by

(fg)(x)=f(x).g(x)=(x+2)(4x2)

=(x+2)2(2x)=(x+2)(2x)

(iv) (ff):[2,2]R is given by

(ff)(x)=f(x).f(x)=(x+2)(x+2)=(x+2)

(v) (gg):[2,2]R is given by

(gg)(x)=g(x).g(x)=(4x2)(4x2)=(4x2)

(vi) {x:g(x)=0}={x:4x2=0}={x:(2x)(2+x)=0}={2,2}

dom(fg)=dom(f)dom(g){x:g(x)=0}

=[2,2]{2,2}=(2,2)

fg:(2,2)R is given by

(fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)=x+24x2=2+x(2+x)(2x)=1(2x)
