To find the composition of functions f and g, we start by defining the functions based on the given information:
f(x) = x + 6
g(x) = 5x²
1. **Finding fg (f composed with g):**
To find f(g(x)), we will substitute g(x) into f(x):
f(g(x)) = f(5x²)
Now, we replace the x in f(x) with 5x²:
f(g(x)) = 5x² + 6
So, fg = 5x² + 6.
2. **Finding g(f(x)):**
Now, we need to find g(f(x)). Substitute f(x) into g(x):
g(f(x)) = g(x + 6)
Now replace x in g(x) with (x + 6):
g(f(x)) = 5(x + 6)²
Expanding this:
g(f(x)) = 5(x² + 12x + 36) = 5x² + 60x + 180
g(f(x)) = 5x² + 60x + 180.
3. **Finding f(g(f(g(fg)))):**
We already know that fg = 5x² + 6. Now, we need to find g(fg) first:
g(fg) = g(5x² + 6) = 5(5x² + 6)²
Next, we compute the expression:
g(fg) = 5(25x⁴ + 60x² + 36) = 125x⁴ + 300x² + 180
Now, we find f(g(fg)):
f(g(fg)) = f(125x⁴ + 300x² + 180) = 125x⁴ + 300x² + 180 + 6 = 125x⁴ + 300x² + 186
So, f(g(f(g(fg)))) = 125x⁴ + 300x² + 186.
4. **Domains of the functions:**
For the functions provided:
- The domain of f(x) = x + 6 is all real numbers, denoted as R.
- The domain of g(x) = 5x² is also all real numbers, denoted as R.
- The domain of fg = 5x² + 6 is also all real numbers, denoted as R.
- Finally, the domain of f(g(f(g(fg)))) = 125x⁴ + 300x² + 186 is all real numbers, denoted as R.
In conclusion:
- fg = 5x² + 6
- f(g(f(g(fg)))) = 125x⁴ + 300x² + 186
- Domains: All functions have a domain of all real numbers, R.
