Let f, g : R → R be defined by f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = x2 – 2 for all x ϵ R, respectively. Then, find gof.
Formula:-
(i)Let f : AB and g : B
C be two functions.
Then, the composition of f and g, denoted by g o f, is defined as the function g o f : AC
given by g o f (x) = g (f (x))
Given:-
(i)f, g : R → R
(ii)f(x) = 2x + 1
(ii)g(x) = x2 – 2 for all x ϵ R
gof(x)=g(f(x))
gof(x)=g(2x+1)
gof(x)=(2x+1)2-2
gof(x)=4x2+4x-1
