Finding the domain of a composite function involving radicals
Find the domain of
Because we cannot take the square root of a negative number, the domain of
is
Now we check the domain of the composite function
The domain of this function is
To find the domain of
we ask ourselves if there are any further restrictions offered by the domain of the composite function. The answer is no, since
is a proper subset of the domain of
This means the domain of
is the same as the domain of
namely,
Decomposing a composite function into its component functions
In some cases, it is necessary to decompose a complicated function. In other words, we can write it as a composition of two simpler functions. There may be more than one way to
decompose a composite function , so we may choose the decomposition that appears to be most expedient.
Decomposing a function
Write
as the composition of two functions.
We are looking for two functions,
and
so
To do this, we look for a function inside a function in the formula for
As one possibility, we might notice that the expression
is the inside of the square root. We could then decompose the function as
We can check our answer by recomposing the functions.
We can perform algebraic operations on functions. See

When functions are combined, the output of the first (inner) function becomes the input of the second (outer) function.
The function produced by combining two functions is a composite function. See
[link] and
[link] .
The order of function composition must be considered when interpreting the meaning of composite functions. See
[link] .
A composite function can be evaluated by evaluating the inner function using the given input value and then evaluating the outer function taking as its input the output of the inner function.
A composite function can be evaluated from a table. See
[link] .
A composite function can be evaluated from a graph. See
[link] .
A composite function can be evaluated from a formula. See
[link] .
The domain of a composite function consists of those inputs in the domain of the inner function that correspond to outputs of the inner function that are in the domain of the outer function. See
[link] and
[link] .
Just as functions can be combined to form a composite function, composite functions can be decomposed into simpler functions.
Functions can often be decomposed in more than one way. See
[link] .

How does one find the domain of the quotient of two functions,
Find the numbers that make the function in the denominator
equal to zero, and check for any other domain restrictions on
and
such as an even-indexed root or zeros in the denominator.
is it possible to leave every good at the same level
Joseph
I don't think so. because check it, if the demand for chicken increases, people will no longer consume fish like they used to causing a fall in the demand for fish

is not really possible to let the value of a goods to be same at the same time.....

Suppose the inflation rate is 6%, does it mean that all the goods you purchase will cost
6% more than previous year? Provide with reasoning.
Not necessarily. To measure the inflation rate economists normally use an averaged price index of a basket of certain goods. So if you purchase goods included in the basket, you will notice that you pay 6% more, otherwise not necessarily.
Good day
How do I calculate this question: C= 100+5yd G= 2000 T= 2000 I(planned)=200.
Suppose the actual output is 3000. What is the level of planned expenditures at this level of output?

money as unit of account means what?
Kalombe
A unit of account is something that can be used to value goods and services and make calculations

all of you please speak in English I can't understand you're language

I want to know how can we define macroeconomics in one line
Muhammad
it must be .9 or 0.9
no Mpc is greater than 1
Y=100+.9Y+50
Y-.9Y=150
0.1Y/0.1=150/0.1
Y=1500

hi can someone help me on this question
If a negative shocks shifts the IS curve to the left, what type of policy do you suggest so as to stabilize the level of output?
discuss your answer using appropriate graph.
