f(g(x), means getting g(x) and then putting that value in f(x).

If time is a factor and you feel that calculations are cumbersome, try plugging in the options.

Option A: x = 0. This option is eliminated straightaway as 0 in the denominator of g(x) will give the value as undefined.


Option B: x = 1. Then g(x) = 1/2 = 0.5.

Putting x = 0.5 in f(x), the option gets eliminated as again we get 0 in the denominator of f(x).



Option C: x = 2. Then g(x) = 3/4 = 0.75.

Now putting x = 0.75 in f(x), we get \(\frac{1.5}{0.5} = 3\)



Option C

Given \(f(x) = \frac{2x}{2x − 1}\) and \(g(x) = \frac{2x − 1}{2x}\), for what value of x, does \(f(g(x)) = 3\)?

A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. 3
E. 4
Solution:

If we let y = g(x), we have f(y) = 3; that is:

2y / (2y - 1) = 3

2y = 6y - 3

-4y = -3

y = 3/4

Now, setting g(x) = 3/4, we have:

(2x - 1)/(2x) = 3/4

8x - 4 = 6x

2x = 4

x = 2

Answer: C

Given \(f(x) = \frac{2x}{2x − 1}\) and \(g(x) = \frac{2x − 1}{2x}\), for what value of x, does \(f(g(x)) = 3\)?

A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. 3
E. 4

We need the final value of f(x) to be 3 for some value of g(x)

So simply equate f(x) with 3 first

\(\frac{2x}{2x − 1} = 3\)

6x - 3 = 2x
4x = 3
x = 3/4

Now we know that for some value of g(x) we get 3/4 as result, so

\(\frac{2x − 1}{2x} = 3/4\)

8x - 4 = 6x
2x = 4
x=2

Therefore, C

Kindly let me know, if I messed something up :blushing:
