Step-by-step solution

8 steps

Here are the steps to solve the given problem:

The functions are defined as:

f(x)=3x+7f(x) = 3x+7 g(x)=1xg(x) = \frac{1}{x}

(Assuming the denominator for g(x)g(x) is xx, as "x00" is not a standard mathematical notation for a function. If it was intended to be x⋅100x \cdot 100, the problem would be g(x)=1100xg(x) = \frac{1}{100x}.)

Part a· 1 step

Find f(2)f(2)

  1. Substitute x=2x=2 into f(x)f(x)

    Substitute x=2x=2 into the function f(x)=3x+7f(x) = 3x+7.

    f(2)=3(2)+7f(2) = 3(2) + 7 f(2)=6+7f(2) = 6 + 7 f(2)=13f(2) = 13

    The value of f(2)f(2) is 13\boxed{13}.

Part b· 1 step

State the domain of f(x)f(x)

  1. Identify the type of function

    The function f(x)=3x+7f(x) = 3x+7 is a linear polynomial function.
    Polynomial functions are defined for all real numbers.
    The domain of f(x)f(x) is R or (−∞,∞)\boxed{\mathbb{R} \text{ or } (-\infty, \infty)}.

Part c· 1 step

Evaluate g(4)g(4)

  1. Substitute x=4x=4 into g(x)g(x)

    Substitute x=4x=4 into the function g(x)=1xg(x) = \frac{1}{x}.

    g(4)=14g(4) = \frac{1}{4}

    The value of g(4)g(4) is 14\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}.

Part d· 2 steps

Find gf(x)gf(x) and its domain

  1. Find the composite function gf(x)gf(x)

    The composite function gf(x)gf(x) means g(f(x))g(f(x)). We substitute f(x)f(x) into g(x)g(x).

    gf(x)=g(f(x))gf(x) = g(f(x))

    Since f(x)=3x+7f(x) = 3x+7, we have:

    gf(x)=g(3x+7)gf(x) = g(3x+7)

    Now, substitute (3x+7)(3x+7) into g(x)=1xg(x) = \frac{1}{x}:

    gf(x)=13x+7gf(x) = \frac{1}{3x+7}

    The composite function is gf(x)=13x+7\boxed{gf(x) = \frac{1}{3x+7}}.

  2. Determine the domain of gf(x)gf(x)

    For gf(x)=13x+7gf(x) = \frac{1}{3x+7} to be defined, the denominator cannot be zero.

    3x+7≠03x+7 \neq 0 3x≠−73x \neq -7 x≠−73x \neq -\frac{7}{3}

    The domain of gf(x)gf(x) is all real numbers except x=−73x = -\frac{7}{3}.
    The domain of gf(x)gf(x) is R∖{−73} or (−∞,−73)∪(−73,∞)\boxed{\mathbb{R} \setminus \left\{-\frac{7}{3}\right\} \text{ or } \left(-\infty, -\frac{7}{3}\right) \cup \left(-\frac{7}{3}, \infty\right)}.

Find f−1(x)f^{-1}(x)

  1. Set y=f(x)y = f(x)

    Let y=3x+7y = 3x+7.

  2. Swap xx and yy

    x=3y+7x = 3y+7
  3. Solve for yy

    Subtract 7 from both sides:

    x−7=3yx-7 = 3y

    Divide by 3:

    y=x−73y = \frac{x-7}{3}

    So, the inverse function is f−1(x)=x−73f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x-7}{3}.
    The inverse function is f−1(x)=x−73\boxed{f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x-7}{3}}.
