The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the compositions of the functions \( f \) and \( g \), specifically \( f(g(x)) \) and \( g(f(x)) \). Given: - \( f(x) = \log x \) - \( g(x) = e^x \) ### Step 1: Finding \( f(g(x)) \) 1. **Substitute \( g(x) \) into \( f(x) \)**: \[ f(g(x)) = f(e^x) \] 2. **Use the definition of \( f(x) \)**: \[ f(e^x) = \log(e^x) \] 3. **Apply the logarithmic property**: \[ \log(e^x) = x \cdot \log(e) \] 4. **Since \( \log(e) = 1 \)**: \[ f(g(x)) = x \cdot 1 = x \] ### Step 2: Finding \( g(f(x)) \) 1. **Substitute \( f(x) \) into \( g(x) \)**: \[ g(f(x)) = g(\log x) \] 2. **Use the definition of \( g(x) \)**: \[ g(\log x) = e^{\log x} \] 3. **Apply the property of exponentials and logarithms**: \[ e^{\log x} = x \] ### Final Results Thus, we have: - \( f(g(x)) = x \) - \( g(f(x)) = x \) ### Summary Both compositions result in \( x \): \[ f(g(x)) = x \quad \text{and} \quad g(f(x)) = x \]
