I found two very complicated composite function questions that I have never seen in class before. However, I am interested in learning how to solve each question below.
Find functions f and g so that f(g(x)) = H.
1) H(x) = sqrt{x^2 + x + 1}
2) H(x) = (1 - 1/(x^2))^2
The partitioning of both composites looks fairly easy to me. Which approaches have you tried so far, and which difficulties have you run into?
ok
I have to replace g(x) for the value of H(x) in both questions but don't know where to go from there.
Okay, you place me in a somewhat difficult position. I'm willing to help you, but obviously I am not going to do your homework for you. Ib this case, it isn't easy to do one without doing the other.
Let's see. You say this is a composite function you have not seen in class before. Why don't you give me a composite function you did see in class, tell me how you split that one up into its composites, and then we go on from there?
ok
Thomas,
This is not homework. I am just curious about solving both questions.
I will get back to you later.
