Question
Let f and g be two real functions defined by $\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\text{x}+1}$ and $\text{g(x)}=\sqrt{9-\text{x}^2}$ Then describe the following functions:
fg

Answer

We have,
$\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\text{x}+1}$ and $\text{g(x)}=\sqrt{9-\text{x}^2}$
We observe that $\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\text{x}+1}$ is defined for all $\text{x}\geq-1$
So, domain $\text{f}=[-1,\infty]$
Clearly, $\text{g(x)}=\sqrt{9-\text{x}^2}$ is defined for
$9-\text{x}^2\geq0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-9\leq0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-3^2\leq0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in[-3,3]$
$\therefore\ \text{domain(g)}=[-3,3]$
Now,
$\text{domain(f)}\cap\text{domain(g)}$
$=[-1,\infty]\cap[-3,3]$
$=[-1,3]$
fg : [-1, 3] → R is given by (fg)(x) = f(x) × g(x)
$=\sqrt{\text{x}+1}\times\sqrt{9-\text{x}^2}$
$=\sqrt{9+9\text{x}-\text{x}^2-\text{x}^3}$
