Let f:R−{−12}→Rf: R - \left\{\dfrac{- 1}{2}\right\} \to R and g:R−{−52}→Rg: R - \left\{\dfrac{- 5}{2}\right\} \to R be defined as f(x)=2x+32x+1f\left(x\right) = \dfrac{2x + 3}{2x + 1} and g(x)=∣x∣+12x+5g\left(x\right) = \dfrac{| x | + 1}{2x + 5}. Then the domain of the function fogfog is :

Options

  1. AR−{−52}R - \left\{- \dfrac{5}{2}\right\}
  2. BRR
  3. CR−{−74}R - \left\{- \dfrac{7}{4}\right\}
  4. DR−{−52,−74}R - \left\{- \dfrac{5}{2}, - \dfrac{7}{4}\right\}

Correct answer

A. R−{−52}R - \left\{- \dfrac{5}{2}\right\}

Step-by-step solution

Given: g(x)=∣x∣+12x+5g\left(x\right) = \dfrac{\left|x\right| + 1}{2x + 5}.

Also, g(x)≠−12g\left(x\right) \ne \dfrac{- 1}{2}

⇒∣x∣+12x+5≠−12⇒ \dfrac{\left|x\right| + 1}{2x + 5} \ne \dfrac{- 1}{2}

Case-I: x≥0x \ge 0

⇒g(x)=x+12x+5=−12⇒ g\left(x\right) = \dfrac{x + 1}{2x + 5} = \dfrac{- 1}{2}

⇒2x+2=−2x−5⇒ 2x + 2 = - 2x - 5

⇒4x=−7⇒ 4x = - 7

⇒x=−74→Rejected asx≥0⇒ x = \dfrac{- 7}{4} \to \text{Rejected as}x \ge 0

Case-I: x<0x < 0

⇒−x+12x+5=−12⇒ \dfrac{- x + 1}{2x + 5} = \dfrac{- 1}{2}

⇒−2x+2=−2x−5⇒ - 2x + 2 = - 2x - 5

⇒2=−5→Not possible⇒ 2 = - 5 \to \text{Not possible}

So, domain of f(g(x))=f\left(g\left(x\right)\right) =domain of g(x)g\left(x\right).

⇒Domain offog(x)=R−{−52}⇒ \text{Domain of}fog\left(x\right) = R - \left\{- \dfrac{5}{2}\right\}
