Question 238818
f (x) = x^2 + x and g (x)= x - 5. 
Comment: That symbol is not infinity.
It means "compose" or "form the composite".
--------------------------------------------------


a. Find h (x) = (f o g)(x).
fog(x) = f[g(x)] = f[x-5] = (x-5)^2+(x-5) = x^2 -26x +20
--------------------------------- 

b. State the domain of h (x) = (f o g) (x).
Domain: 
The range of g(x) is all Real Numbers
so the domain of h(x) is all Real Numbers.
----------------------------------------------------- 

c. Find h (x) = (g o f)(x)
gof(x) = g[f(x)] = g[x^2+x] = (x^2+x)-5 = x^2+x-5
---------------- 

d. State the domain of h (x)= (g o f) (x).
The Range of f(x) = ?
f(x)=x^2+x
a = 1, b = 1
Vertex is at -b/2a = -1/2 
f(-1/2) = (-1/2)^2+(-1/2) = 1/4 - 1/2 = -1/4
--------------------------------------------------
So Range of f(x) is all Rean Numbers >= -1/4

So the Domain of h(x) is all Real Numbers greater than or equal to -1/4.
