(a) 0,12[1,)

(b) 1,1212,

(c) [0,)

(d) 12,0[1,)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. The given functions are

 and g(x)=x2x,xR

Then, h(x)=(fg)(x)=f(g(x))

Now, h(x)=f(g(x))g(x)

=(eg(x)1)(2x1)=(e(x2x)1)(2x1)=(ex(x1)1)(2x1)

It is given that h(x) is an increasing function, so h(x)0

(ex(x1)1)(2x1)0

Case I (2x1)0 and (ex(x1)1)0

x12 and x(x1)0

x[1/2,) and x(,0][1,), so x[1,)

Case II (2x1)0 and [ex(x1)1]0

x12 and x(x1)0x,12 and x[0,1]

So, x0,12

From, the above cases, x0,12[1,).
