Let f: N → R be the function defined by f(x) = (2x−1)/2 and g: Q → R be another function defined by g (x) = x + 2. Then (g 0 f) 3/2 is
Correct Answer :
None of these
Solution :
The correct option is "None of these".
To understand why this is the correct choice, let us analyze the definition of the composite function and the domains of the individual functions given in the problem.
We are given two functions:
1. A function
defined by
where the domain of the function is the set of natural numbers
and the codomain is the set of real numbers
2. Another function
defined by
where the domain is the set of rational numbers
We need to evaluate the composite function
By definition, the composition is evaluated as:
For the composition to be defined at a value, the input value must belong to the domain of the inner function. Here, the inner function is
which has the domain
Our input value is:
Since
is a fractional value and not a positive integer, it does not belong to the set of natural numbers:
Because the input does not lie in the domain of the function
the expression
is undefined. Consequently, the composition
cannot be evaluated and is undefined. Therefore, the correct choice is "None of these".
