To find the composite function, fg and gf and also their respective domains.
Solution:
The functions are f(x)=x21 and g(x)=x.
The function fg can be evaluated as,
fg=f(g(x))
=f(x)
=(x)21
=x21
The function gf can be evaluated as,
gf=g(f(x))
=g(x21)
=(x21)
=x2+1
The obtained composite function are not equal. And the domain for both the function is complete real numbers as it is defined for each value of x.
