QuestionGiven the following functions: - f(x)=4x3x2f(x)=\frac{4 x-3}{x-2} - g(x)=2x1g(x)=2 x-1
Determine the rule of gf(x+h)g \circ f(x+h).

Studdy Solution
Simplify the expression for g(f(x+h)) g(f(x+h)) :
g(f(x+h))=2(4x+4h3)x+h21 g(f(x+h)) = \frac{2(4x + 4h - 3)}{x + h - 2} - 1
g(f(x+h))=8x+8h6x+h21 g(f(x+h)) = \frac{8x + 8h - 6}{x + h - 2} - 1
To combine into a single fraction:
g(f(x+h))=8x+8h6(x+h2)x+h2 g(f(x+h)) = \frac{8x + 8h - 6 - (x + h - 2)}{x + h - 2}
g(f(x+h))=8x+8h6xh+2x+h2 g(f(x+h)) = \frac{8x + 8h - 6 - x - h + 2}{x + h - 2}
g(f(x+h))=7x+7h4x+h2 g(f(x+h)) = \frac{7x + 7h - 4}{x + h - 2}
The rule of gf(x+h) g \circ f(x+h) is 7x+7h4x+h2 \boxed{\frac{7x + 7h - 4}{x + h - 2}} .
