The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the compositions of the functions \( f \) and \( g \), specifically \( f \circ g \) and \( g \circ f \), and then evaluate these compositions at specific points. ### Step 1: Define the functions The functions are defined as follows: - \( f(x) = x^2 + 2 \) - \( g(x) = \frac{x}{x - 1} \), where \( x \neq 1 \) ### Step 2: Find \( f \circ g \) To find \( f \circ g \), we substitute \( g(x) \) into \( f(x) \): \[ f(g(x)) = f\left(\frac{x}{x - 1}\right) \] Substituting \( g(x) \) into \( f(x) \): \[ f\left(\frac{x}{x - 1}\right) = \left(\frac{x}{x - 1}\right)^2 + 2 \] Calculating \( \left(\frac{x}{x - 1}\right)^2 \): \[ \left(\frac{x}{x - 1}\right)^2 = \frac{x^2}{(x - 1)^2} \] Thus, \[ f(g(x)) = \frac{x^2}{(x - 1)^2} + 2 \] To combine the terms: \[ f(g(x)) = \frac{x^2 + 2(x - 1)^2}{(x - 1)^2} = \frac{x^2 + 2(x^2 - 2x + 1)}{(x - 1)^2} = \frac{3x^2 - 4x + 2}{(x - 1)^2} \] ### Step 3: Find \( g \circ f \) Now, we find \( g \circ f \): \[ g(f(x)) = g(x^2 + 2) \] Substituting \( f(x) \) into \( g(x) \): \[ g(x^2 + 2) = \frac{x^2 + 2}{(x^2 + 2) - 1} = \frac{x^2 + 2}{x^2 + 1} \] ### Step 4: Evaluate \( f \circ g(2) \) Now we evaluate \( f \circ g(2) \): \[ f(g(2)) = f\left(g(2)\right) \] First, calculate \( g(2) \): \[ g(2) = \frac{2}{2 - 1} = 2 \] Now substitute into \( f \): \[ f(g(2)) = f(2) = 2^2 + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6 \] ### Step 5: Evaluate \( g \circ f(-3) \) Now we evaluate \( g(f(-3)) \): First, calculate \( f(-3) \): \[ f(-3) = (-3)^2 + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11 \] Now substitute into \( g \): \[ g(f(-3)) = g(11) = \frac{11}{11 - 1} = \frac{11}{10} \] ### Final Results - \( f \circ g(2) = 6 \) - \( g \circ f(-3) = \frac{11}{10} \)
