Question
Let f and g be two real functions defined by $\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\text{x}+1}$ and $\text{g(x)}=\sqrt{9-\text{x}^2}$ Then describe the following functions: fg

Answer

We have, $\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\text{x}+1}$ and $\text{g(x)}=\sqrt{9-\text{x}^2}$ We observe that $\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\text{x}+1}$ is defined for all $\text{x}\geq-1$ So, domain $\text{f}=[-1,\infty]$ Clearly, $\text{g(x)}=\sqrt{9-\text{x}^2}$ is defined for $9-\text{x}^2\geq0$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-9\leq0$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-3^2\leq0$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}\in[-3,3]$ $\therefore\ \text{domain(g)}=[-3,3]$ Now, $\text{domain(f)}\cap\text{domain(g)}$ $=[-1,\infty]\cap[-3,3]$ $=[-1,3]$ fg : [-1, 3] → R is given by (fg)(x) = f(x) × g(x) $=\sqrt{\text{x}+1}\times\sqrt{9-\text{x}^2}$ $=\sqrt{9+9\text{x}-\text{x}^2-\text{x}^3}$
