If a(x) = 3x + 1 and b(x)= squareroot x-4, what is the domain of (b*a)(x)?

Answered by maham237 @ 02/12/2020

$\boxed{ \ x \geq 1 \ }$ or can be written as $\boxed{ \ [1, \infty) \ }$

Further explanation

This is a question about the composition of functions and how to get a domain function.

Given $\boxed{ \ a(x) = 3x + 1 \ }$ and $\boxed{ \ b(x) = \sqrt{x - 4} \ }$ .

We will form (b o a)(x) and then determine the domain.

Step-1

$\boxed{ \ (b \circ a)(x) = b(a(x)) \ }$

Replace each appearance of x in b(x) with $\boxed{ \ a(x) = 3x + 1 \ }$ .

$\boxed{ \ (b \circ a)(x) = \sqrt{(3x + 1) - 4} \ }$

Thus, $\boxed{ \ (b \circ a)(x) = \sqrt{3x - 3} \ }$

Step-2

To be defined, the value under the radical sign must not be negative. Therefore, the domain of $(b \circ a)(x) = \sqrt{3x - 3}$ are processed as follows.

$\boxed{ \ 3x - 3 \geq 0 \ }$

Both sides added by 3.

$\boxed{ \ 3x \geq 3 \ }$

Both sides divided by 3.

$\boxed{ \ x\geq 1 \ }$

Thus, the domain of $(b \circ a)(x) = \sqrt{3x - 3}$ is $\boxed{ \ x \geq 1 \ }$ or can be written as $\boxed{ \ [1, \infty) \ }$
