PLEASE HELP If g(x)=1+x(x∈ ℝ ) and h(x)=x2+2x(x∈ ℝ ), find the ranges of g and h. Find the composite functions g∘h and h∘g, stating their ranges.

y = g(x) = 1 +  x

Now, the range of a function is the set of the possible values of y.

In this function, a linear function, y can be any real number, so the range of this function is { y ∈ ℝ )

y = h(x) = x^2 + 2*x

This is a quadratic function, as the leading coefficient is positive, we know that the arms of the function go up.

For a quadratic function y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

The minimum is at:

x = -b/2a.

In this case, b = 2 and 1 = 1

the minimum is at:

x = -2/2 = -1

The minimum is:

y = h(-1) = 1^2 +2*(-1) = -1

Then the range of this function is

{y ∈ ℝ ≥ -1 )

The composite functions are:

g∘h = g(h(x)) = 1 + x^2 + 2*x

The minimum is still at x = -1

g∘h(-1) = 1 + -1^2 + 2*-1 = 0

Then the range of this function is:

{y ∈ ℝ ≥ 0 )

The other composition is:

h∘g = h(g(x)) =  (1 + x)^2 + 2*(1 + x) = 1 + 2*x + x^2 + 2 + 2*x

h∘g = x^2 + 4*x + 3

Here the minimum is at:

x = -4/2*1 = -2

h∘g(-2) = (-2)^2 + 4*-2 + 3 = 4 - 8 + 3 = -1

The range is:

{y ∈ ℝ ≥ -1 )

just needed some points but try socratic

the battle of gettysburg is considered the "high water mark" of the confederacy because it marked the greatest advance of the confederate forces against the union.
