Given f(x)=1/x-2 and g(x)=square root of x+2, what is the domain of f (g(x))?.A. ℝB. [–2, ∞)C. [–2, 2) ∪ (2, ∞)D. (–∞, 2) ∪ (2, ∞)

Sagot :

we have the functions

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=\frac{1}{x-2} \\ \\ g(x)=\sqrt{x+2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Find out f(g(x))

[tex]f\mleft(g\mleft(x\mright)\mright)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+2}-2}[/tex]

Remember that

The radicand must be greater than or equal to zero and the denominator cannot be equal to zero

so

step 1

Solve the inequality

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+2\ge0 \\ x\operatorname{\ge}-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

the solution to the first inequality is the interval [-2, infinite)

step 2

Solve the equation

[tex]\begin{gathered} \sqrt{x+2}-2\ne0 \\ \sqrt{x+2}\operatorname{\ne}2 \\ therefore \\ x\operatorname{\ne}2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The domain is the interval

[–2, 2) ∪ (2, ∞)

The answer is the option C
