Composition of Functions
The composition of functions is a process where the output of one function becomes the input of another. It combines two functions

Que-1: If f : N → R : f (x) = (2x−1)/2 and g : Q → R : g (x) = x + 2 be two functions, then find (fog)(−3/2).
Sol: Given f : N → R defined by
f(x) = (2x−1)/2 ∀x ∈ N
and g : Q → R defined by
g (x) = x + 2 ∀ x ∈ Q
(fog)(−3/2) = f(g(−3/2))
= f{(−3/2)+2} = f(1/2)
= {2×(1/2)−1}/2 = 0
Que-2: (i) If f : R → R and g : R → R are given f(x) = sin x and g(x) = 5x², then find gof (x).
(ii) If f(x) = 27x³ and g(x) = x1/3, then find gof (x).
Sol: (i) Given f : R→ R defined by f(x) = sin x and g : R → R defined by
g(x) = 5x²
Clearly Rf ⊂ Dg
∴ g of exists
Thus, (g) of (x) = g(f(x)) = g (sin x) = 5
(sin x)² = 5 sin²x ∀x∈R
(ii) Given f(x) = 27x³ ; g (x) = x1/3
∴ (gof) (x) = g(f(x) = g(27x³)
= (27x³)1/3 = 3x
Que-3: Find (gof)(3), (fog)(1) and(fof)(0) if
(i) f(x) = 3x – 2, g(x) = x²
(ii) f(x) = |x + 2|, g(x) = – x²
(iii) f(x) = x² – 1, g(x) = √x
Sol: (i) Given f(x) = 3x – 2; g(x) = x²
(gof)(3) = g(f(3)) = g(3 x 3 – 2) = g(7)
= 7² = 49
(fog)(1) = f(g(1)) = f(1²) = f(x)
= 3 – 2 = 1
(fof) (0) = f(f(0)) = f(0 – 2) = f(- 2)
= 3(- 2) – 2 = – 8
(ii) Given f(x)=|x + 2|, g(x) = – x²
(gof)(3) = g(f(3)) = g(|3 + 2|) = g (5)
= – 5² = – 25
(fog)(1) = f(g(1)) = f(- 1²) = f(- 1)
= |- 1 + 2| = 1
(fof) (0) = ff(0)) = f(|0 + 2|)
= f(2) = |2 + 2| = 4
(iii) Given f (x) = x² – 1, g(x) = √x
(gof)(3) = g(f(3)) = g(3² – 1) = g (8)
= √8 = 2√2
(fog) (1) = f(g(1)) = f(√1) = f(1))
= 1² – 1 = 0
(fof) (0) = f(g(1)) = f(0² – 1) = f(- 1) = (- 1²) – 1 = 0
Que-4: If f(x) = x + 5 and g(x) = x² – 3, find the following:
(i) f(g(0)) (ii) g(f (0)) (iii) f(g(x)) (iv) g(f (x)) (v) g(f (x)) (vi) g(g (x)) (vii) f(f (-5)) (viii) g(g (2))
Sol: Given f(x) = x + 5; g(x) = x² – 3
(i) f(g(0)) = f(0² – 3)
= f(-3) = – 3 + 5 = 2
(ii) g(f(0)) = g(0 + 5) = g(5)
= 5² – 3 = 22
(iii) f(g (x)) = f(x² – 3)
= x² – 3 + 5 = x² + 2
(iv) g(f (x)) = g(x + 5)
= (x + 5)² -3 = x² + 10x + 22
(v) f(f (x)) = f(x + 5)
= x + 5 + 5 = x + 10
(vi) g(g (x)) = g(x² – 3)
= (x² – 3)² – 3 = x4 – 6x² + 6
(vii) f(f(- 5)) = f(-5 + 5) = f(0)
= 0 + 5 = 5
(viii) g(g(2)) = g(2² – 3) = g(1)
= 1² – 3 = – 2
Que-5: If u(x) = 4x – 5, v(x) = x² and f(x) = 1/x , find
(i) u (v (f (x)))
(ii) u(f(v(x)))
(iii) f(u(v(x)))
Sol: Given u(x) = 4x – 5, v(x) = x and f(x) = 1/x
(i) u(v(f(x))) = u(v(1/x))
= u(1/x²) = 4x² – 5
(ii) u(f(v(x))) = u(f(x²))
= u(1/x²) = 4x²
(iii) f(u(v(x))) = f(u(x²))
= f(4x² – 5) = 1/(4x²−5)
Que-6: Find the indicated values, where
g(t) = t² – 1 and f(x) = 1 + x
(i) g(f(0)) + f(g(0))
(ii) g(f(2) + 3)
Sol: Given g(t) = t² – 1 and f(x) = 1 + x
∴ f(0) = 1 + 0 = 1 ;
g(0) = 0² – 1 = – 1
(i) Thus g (f (0)) + f (g (0))
= g(1) + f(-1) = (1² – 1) + (1 – 1) = 0 + 0 = 0
(ii) Now f(2) = 1 + 2 = 3
∴ g(f(2) + 3) = g(3 + 3) = g(6)
= 6² – 1 = 35
Que-7: If f(x) = (2x+1)/(3x−2) then (fof)(2) is equal to
(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 4
Sol:

Que-8: If f(x) = (1−x)/(1+x), then f{f(cos2θ) } is equal to
(a) cos 2θ (b) tan 2θ (c) sec 2θ (d) cot 2θ
Sol:

Que-9: Let [x] denote the greatest integer ≤ x. If f(x) = [x] and g(x) = |x|, then the value of f{g(8/5)}−g{f(−8/5)} is
(a) 2 (b) – 2 (c) 1 (d) 0 (e) – 1
Sol: Given f(x) = [x] and g(x) = | x |
∴ g(8/5) = ∣∣8/5∣∣ = 8/5
f(−8/5) = [−8/5] = [- 1, 6]
= [- 1 – 0.6] = [- 2 + 0.4] = – 2
f(g(8/5)) = f(8/5) = [8/5] = 1
and g{f(−8/5)} = g{[−8/5]} = g{[−1.2]}
= g(- 2) = |- 2| = 2
Thus, f{g(−8/5)} − g{f(−8/5)}
= 1 – 2 = – 1
Que-10: If f : R → R and g : R → R are defined by f(x) = x – 3 and g(x) = x² +1, then the values of x for which g(f (x)) = 10 are
(a) 0, – 6 (b) 2, – 2 (c) 1, – 1 (d) 0, 6 (e) 0, 2
Sol: Given f : R → R and g : R → R defined by f(x) = x- 3 and
g(x) = x² +1
Since Rf ⊂ Dg = R
∴ gof exists
Now |gof| (x) = g(f (x)) = g(x – 3)
= (x – 3)² + 1 = x² – 6x + 10 – 10, also
g(f(x)) = 10 (given)
Thus, x² – 6x + 10 = 10
⇒ x² – 6x = 0
⇒ x(x – 6) = 0
⇒ x = 0, 6
Que-11: If f(x) = sin²x and the composite function g[f(x)] = | sinx |, then the function g(x) is equal to
(a) – √x (b) √x (c) √(x-1) (d) √(x+1)
Sol: Given f(x) = sin²x and
g{f(x)} = |sin x| = √sin²x
g(sin²x) = √sin²x
g(x) = √x.
Que-12: If f : R → R and g : R → R are defined respectively as
f(x) = x² + 3x + 1 and g(x) = 2x – 3, find
(a) fog (b) gof.
Sol: Given f : R→ R defined by
f(x) = x² +3x + 1 and g : R → R defined by g (x) = 2x – 3
Since Rf ⊂ Dg
∴ gof exists.
and Rg ⊂ Df
∴ fog exists (g(x))
(i) ∀x ∈ R, (fog) (x) = f(g(x)) = f(2x – 3) = (2x – 3)² + 3(2x – 3) + 1
= 4x² – 12x + 9 + 6x – 9 + 1
= 4x² – 6x + 1
(ii) x ∈ R, (gof) (x) = g(f(x))
= g(x² + 3x + 1)
= 2(x² + 3x + 1) – 3
= 2x² + 6x – 1
Que-13: If f: R → R, f(x) = x²,
g : R→ R, g(x) = cos x ∀x ∈ R, find fog and gof and show that fog ≠ gof
Sol: Given f : R → R defined by
f(x) = x² ∀x ∈ R
and g : R →R defined by
g(x) = cos x ∀x ∈ R
∀x ∈ R, (fog)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(cosx) = cos²x
(gof)(x) = g(f(x) = g(x²) = cos x²
Clearly (fog)(x) ≠ (gof)(x) ∀x ∈ R
⇒ fog ≠ gof
Que-14: If the function f : R → R be defined as f(x) = (3x+4)/(5x−7)(x≠7/5) and g : R → R be defined as g (x) = and g : R → R be defined as g(x) = (7x+4)/(5x−3)(x≠3/5), show that (gof) (x) = (fog) (x).
Sol: Given f : R → R defined as

Que-15: If R → R is given by
f(x) = [{−1, when x is a rational 1}, {when x is irrational}]
then, (fof)(1 – √3) is equal to
(a) 1 (b) – 1 (c) √3 (d) 0
Sol: Given f : R → R defined by
f(x) = [{−1, when x is a rational 1}, {when x is irrational}]
Since (1 – √3) be an irrational number
∴ f(1 – √3) = 1
Now (fof) (1 – √3) = f{f(1 – √3)}
= f(1) = – 1
[∵ 1 be a rational number ∴ f(x) = – 1]
