find $(f \circ g) (x)$ and $(g \circ f) (x)$ and graph each of these functions.
role="math" localid="1646342890755" $f (x) = 2 s e c x g (x) = \frac{1}{2} x$

Short Answer

Expert verified

If $f (x) = 2 s e c x$ and $g (x) = \frac{1}{2} x$ then $(f \circ g) (x) = 2 s e c (\frac{1}{2} x)$ and its graph is

and $(g \circ f) (x) = s e c (x)$ and its graph is

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given data

The given functions are

$f (x) = 2 s e c x g (x) = \frac{1}{2} x$

Step 2. Composition of function

$(f \circ g) (x)$ composition of function is

role="math" localid="1646342980281" $(f \circ g) (x) = f (g (x)) (f \circ g) (x) = f (\frac{1}{2} x) (f \circ g) (x) = 2 s e c (\frac{1}{2} x)$

Step 3. Graph of (f∘g)(x)

Plot the graph of $(f \circ g) (x) = 2 s e c (\frac{1}{2} x)$

Step 4. Composition of function

$(g \circ f) (x)$ Composition of function is

$(g \circ f) (x) = g (f (x)) (g \circ f) (x) = g (2 s e c (x)) (g \circ f) (x) = \frac{1}{2} (2 s e c (x)) (g \circ f) (x) = s e c (x)$

Step 5. Graph of (g∘f)(x)

Plot the graph of $(g \circ f) (x) = s e c (x)$
