QuestionEvaluate (qp)(x)(q \circ p)(x) for p(x)=x29xp(x)=x^{2}-9x and q(x)=1x10q(x)=\frac{1}{x-10}. What is the domain?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The function p(x)p(x) is defined as p(x)=x9xp(x) = x^{}-9x . The function q(x)q(x) is defined as q(x)=1x10q(x) = \frac{1}{x-10}
3. The composition of functions (qp)(x)(q \circ p)(x) is defined as q(p(x))q(p(x))

STEP 2

To find the composition of functions (qp)(x)(q \circ p)(x), we need to substitute p(x)p(x) into q(x)q(x).
(qp)(x)=q(p(x))(q \circ p)(x) = q(p(x))

STEP 3

Substitute p(x)p(x) into q(x)q(x).
(qp)(x)=q(x29x)(q \circ p)(x) = q(x^{2}-9x)

STEP 4

Replace xx in q(x)q(x) with p(x)p(x).
(qp)(x)=1(x29x)10(q \circ p)(x) = \frac{1}{(x^{2}-9x)-10}

STEP 5

implify the expression.
(qp)(x)=1x29x10(q \circ p)(x) = \frac{1}{x^{2}-9x-10}This is the composition of functions (qp)(x)(q \circ p)(x).
