STEP 1

Assumptions1. We have two functions q(x)=1xq(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} and h(x)=x25h(x)=x^{}-25 . The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) which will produce a valid output (y-values).
3. The domain of q(x)h(x)\frac{q(x)}{h(x)} is given as x>0,x5x>0, x \neq5
4. We need to find the domains of q(h(x))q(h(x)) and h(q(x))h(q(x)).

STEP 2

First, let's find the domain of q(h(x))q(h(x)). The function q(x)q(x) can only take positive values of x because of the square root in the denominator. Therefore, the inside function h(x)h(x) must be greater than0.
h(x)>0h(x) >0

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given function h(x)h(x) into the inequality.
x225>0x^{2}-25 >0

STEP 4

olving this inequality will give us the domain of q(h(x))q(h(x)). To solve it, we can factor the quadratic expression.
(x)(x+)>0(x-)(x+) >0

STEP 5

The solutions to the equation (x5)(x+5)=0(x-5)(x+5) =0 are x=5x =5 and x=5x = -5. These are the points where the sign of the inequality can change. We can test the intervals (,5)(-\infty, -5), (5,5)(-5,5), and (5,)(5, \infty) to determine where the inequality is true.

STEP 6

Testing the intervals, we find that the inequality is true for x<5x < -5 and x>5x >5. Therefore, the domain of q(h(x))q(h(x)) is x<5x < -5 or x>5x >5.

STEP 7

Now, let's find the domain of h(q(x))h(q(x)). The function h(x)h(x) can take any real number as input. However, the inside function q(x)q(x) can only take positive values of x because of the square root in the denominator. Therefore, the domain of h(q(x))h(q(x)) is x>0x >0.

STEP 8

To summarize, the domains of the functions area. Domain of q(x)h(x)\frac{q(x)}{h(x)} is x>0,x5x>0, x \neq5 b. Domain of q(h(x))q(h(x)) is x<5x < -5 or x>5x >5 c. Domain of h(q(x))h(q(x)) is x>0x >0

STEP 9

For part c, the complete equation for h(q(x))h(q(x)) ish(q(x))=(x)225=x25h(q(x)) = \left(\frac{}{\sqrt{x}}\right)^{2}-25 = \frac{}{x} -25

STEP 10

Regarding the extracted text for parts b and c, there seems to be an error. The domain of q(h(x))q(h(x)) is not x|x| but x<5x < -5 or x>5x >5. And for h(q(x))h(q(x)), the domain is not [ Select ] [ Select ] but x>0x >0.
