The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( g(x) = f(f(f(x))) \) where \( f(x) = \frac{1}{1-x} \) and determine the domain of \( f(g(x)) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the function \( f(x) \)**: \[ f(x) = \frac{1}{1-x} \] The function \( f(x) \) is discontinuous when its denominator is zero, i.e., when \( 1 - x = 0 \) or \( x = 1 \). 2. **Find the points of discontinuity of \( f(x) \)**: The point of discontinuity for \( f(x) \) is \( x = 1 \). 3. **Calculate \( f(f(x)) \)**: To find \( f(f(x)) \): \[ f(f(x)) = f\left(\frac{1}{1-x}\right) = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{1}{1-x}} = \frac{1}{\frac{(1-x)-1}{1-x}} = \frac{1-x}{-x} = \frac{x-1}{x} \] The function \( f(f(x)) \) is discontinuous when its denominator is zero, i.e., when \( x = 0 \). 4. **Calculate \( g(x) = f(f(f(x))) \)**: Now we need to find \( f(f(f(x))) \): \[ g(x) = f(f(f(x))) = f\left(\frac{x-1}{x}\right) = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{x-1}{x}} = \frac{1}{\frac{x - (x-1)}{x}} = \frac{x}{1} = x \] The function \( g(x) \) is continuous everywhere except where \( f(f(x)) \) is discontinuous, which is at \( x = 0 \). 5. **Identify the points of discontinuity of \( g(x) \)**: The points of discontinuity of \( g(x) \) are \( x = 0 \) and \( x = 1 \) (from \( f(x) \)). 6. **Determine the domain of \( f(g(x)) \)**: We need to find the domain of \( f(g(x)) = f(x) \). The function \( f(x) \) is undefined at \( x = 1 \). Therefore, the domain of \( f(g(x)) \) excludes the points of discontinuity: \[ \text{Domain of } f(g(x)) = \mathbb{R} - \{1\} \] ### Final Answer: The domain of \( f(g(x)) \) is: \[ \mathbb{R} - \{1\} \]
