The question, in short

Using f(x) = 3x/(x + 4) for x > 0 and g(x) = √(x + 2) for x > −2, find the x-value satisfying fg(x) = 1.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.

Solution · 4 marks

  1. 1fg(x) = 3√(x + 2)/(√(x + 2) + 4)
  2. 23√(x + 2) = √(x + 2) + 4
  3. 32√(x + 2) = 4, so √(x + 2) = 2
  4. 4x + 2 = 4, x = 2

Answerx = 2
