Determine the domain of the function (f o g) (x) where f (x) = 3/x+2 and g=5/x.

Since it's a composite function, do I solve it by setting it up as 3/x+2/5/x? If so, what are the steps to solving that kind of complex division? Or should I be doing some sort of multiplication because they're both fractions?

    The Domain is all real values of x except x = 0 and x = - 2.5.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    I am assuming that f (x) = 3 / (x + 2).

    (f o g) x is found by substituting 5/x for the x in 3 / (x + 2).

    (f o g) x = 3 / (5/x + 2)

    = 3 / (5+2x) / x

    = 3x / (5 + 2x).

    When finding the domain you first check for values of x which make g (x) undefined then values of x which make (f o g) (x) undefined.

    x = 0 makes g (x) = 5/0 so it is undefined and x = - 2.5 makes g o f undefined also.
