Let f(x)=12x5. Find the largest x which is not in the domain of g(x)=f(f(x)).

g(x) =  f ( f(x)  =

 

              1

_________________   =

 2   ( 1 / [2x - 5] ) - 5 

 

 

              1

_____________________   =

      2        -       5

______

  2x - 5

 

 

       2x  -   5

____________________    =

    2  -  5 [ 2x - 5]

 

 

      2x  - 5

____________

    27 - 10x

 

The x not in the domain  is

 

27 - 10x  = 0

 

27 = 10x

 

27 / 10

I just read about pretty hard functions, hope I can solve it!!

g(x)=f(f(x))=12x5=12(12x5)5=2x52710x

Thus, the largest x not in the domain of g(x) is .2710.
