## anonymous 3 years ago For the following function, h , determine the functions, f and g so that : h(x)= f(g(x)) If h(x)=(8x+8/11x-11)^7 then f(x) g(x)

helppppp :(

Do you still need help even though your question is closed

Ok well for compositions, you have to imagine a function being INSIDE another function

5. kirbykirby

The basic functions are like: $$ln(x), cos(x), sin(x), x, e^x...$$ ... so if you have like $$x^2|dw:1362456641846:dw|$$

6. kirbykirby

In your case we have |dw:1362456844212:dw|

yeah

then?

so, in math we'd say $$f(g(x))=h(x)$$, so we let the inner function (the square box) be g(x)... since it's inside of f... $$g(x)=\frac{8x+8}{11x-11}$$ Now you want to make all of g(x) to be raised to the power of 7. What we typically do is let $$u=g(x)$$, now define $$f(u)=u^7$$ |dw:1362457135131:dw|

Ok no offense though but can you not see I'm still writing ? You know this openstudy site is voluntary for those to post answers, it's kind of rude to rush people with "?????????"

don't waste my time if you're going to get emotional. & exactly, voluntarily. voluntarily leave.

13. kirbykirby

Well how am I wasting your time if I just posted the solution for you. And I am not wasting your time becuse it takes time to draw these pictures and code using LaTex

Wow I can't believe how ungrateful you are. You are even lucky there are people willing to voluntarily help you with your homework
