Let $f (x) = {1 + x, 0 \leq x \leq 2 3 - x, 2 < x \leq 3$ . Determine the form of $g (x) = f (f (x))$ and hence find the points of discontinuity of $g$ , if any.

Answer:

x = 1, 2

Visualized Solution (English)

Visualizing .math-text-wrapper .katex { font-size: 1.05em !important; } .math-text-wrapper .katex-display { margin: 1rem 0 !important; } f (x)

Given piecewise function: $f (x) = {1 + x, 3 - x, 0 \leq x \leq 2 2 < x \leq 3$
Interval 1: For $x \in [0, 2]$ , $f (x)$ increases from $1$ to $3$ .
Interval 2: For $x \in (2, 3]$ , $f (x)$ decreases from $1$ to $0$ .

Defining .math-text-wrapper .katex { font-size: 1.05em !important; } .math-text-wrapper .katex-display { margin: 1rem 0 !important; } g (x) = f (f (x))

To find $g (x) = f (f (x))$ , we substitute $f (x)$ into the definition of $f$ :
$g (x) = {1 + f (x), 3 - f (x), 0 \leq f (x) \leq 2 2 < f (x) \leq 3$
We must analyze the range of $f (x)$ for different domains of $x$ .

Case 1: .math-text-wrapper .katex { font-size: 1.05em !important; } .math-text-wrapper .katex-display { margin: 1rem 0 !important; } 0 \leq x \leq 2

For $x \in [0, 2]$ , $f (x) = 1 + x$ .
If $0 \leq 1 + x \leq 2 ⟹ - 1 \leq x \leq 1$ . Combined with $x \in [0, 2]$ , we get $x \in [0, 1]$ .
If $2 < 1 + x \leq 3 ⟹ 1 < x \leq 2$ .

Computing .math-text-wrapper .katex { font-size: 1.05em !important; } .math-text-wrapper .katex-display { margin: 1rem 0 !important; } g (x) for .math-text-wrapper .katex { font-size: 1.05em !important; } .math-text-wrapper .katex-display { margin: 1rem 0 !important; } x \in [0, 1]

For $x \in [0, 1]$ , $f (x) \in [1, 2]$ .
$g (x) = 1 + f (x)$
$g (x) = 1 + (1 + x) = 2 + x$

Computing .math-text-wrapper .katex { font-size: 1.05em !important; } .math-text-wrapper .katex-display { margin: 1rem 0 !important; } g (x) for .math-text-wrapper .katex { font-size: 1.05em !important; } .math-text-wrapper .katex-display { margin: 1rem 0 !important; } x \in (1, 2]

For $x \in (1, 2]$ , $f (x) \in (2, 3]$ .
$g (x) = 3 - f (x)$
$g (x) = 3 - (1 + x) = 2 - x$

Case 2: .math-text-wrapper .katex { font-size: 1.05em !important; } .math-text-wrapper .katex-display { margin: 1rem 0 !important; } 2 < x \leq 3

For $x \in (2, 3]$ , $f (x) = 3 - x$ .
Since $0 \leq 3 - x < 1$ , which is $\leq 2$ :
$g (x) = 1 + f (x)$
$g (x) = 1 + (3 - x) = 4 - x$

Checking Continuity at .math-text-wrapper .katex { font-size: 1.05em !important; } .math-text-wrapper .katex-display { margin: 1rem 0 !important; } x = 1

At $x = 1$ :
LHL: $lim_{x \to 1^{-}} (2 + x) = 3$
RHL: $lim_{x \to 1^{+}} (2 - x) = 1$
Since $L H L \neq = R H L$ , $g (x)$ is discontinuous at $x = 1$ .

Checking Continuity at .math-text-wrapper .katex { font-size: 1.05em !important; } .math-text-wrapper .katex-display { margin: 1rem 0 !important; } x = 2

At $x = 2$ :
LHL: $lim_{x \to 2^{-}} (2 - x) = 0$
RHL: $lim_{x \to 2^{+}} (4 - x) = 2$
Since $L H L \neq = R H L$ , $g (x)$ is discontinuous at $x = 2$ .

Final Form of .math-text-wrapper .katex { font-size: 1.05em !important; } .math-text-wrapper .katex-display { margin: 1rem 0 !important; } g (x)

Final form of $g (x)$ :
$g (x) = ⎩ ⎨ ⎧ 2 + x, 2 - x, 4 - x, 0 \leq x \leq 1 1 < x \leq 2 2 < x \leq 3$
Points of discontinuity: $x = 1$ and $x = 2$ .
