Let \(f, g: R \rightarrow R\) be two functions defined as
\(f(x)=|x|+x\)
and
\(g(x)=|x|-x \forall x \in R\).
Then \((f \circ g)(x)\) for \(x < 0\) is
- A \( 00 \)
- B \( 4 x \)
- C \( -4 x \)
- D \( 2 x \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \( -4 x \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(f(x)=|x|+x\)
\(g(x)=|x|-x\)
\(f[g(x)]=f[|x|-x]\)
\(=|| x|-x|+|x|-x[x < 0]\)
\(=|-2 x|+(-2 x)\)
\(=-2 x-2 x\)
\(=-4 x\)
\(g(x)=|x|-x\)
\(f[g(x)]=f[|x|-x]\)
\(=|| x|-x|+|x|-x[x < 0]\)
\(=|-2 x|+(-2 x)\)
\(=-2 x-2 x\)
\(=-4 x\)
