Question 3057: Permitted Domain of a Restricted Composition

Original question and givens

Let f:A→B and g:D→C be the explicit total functions A={-6, -5, -4}, B={-8, 0, 9}, D={-8, 0}, C={-12, 1, 13}, f=[(-6, -8), (-5, 0), (-4, 9)], and g=[(-8, -12), (0, 1)]. List {x∈A:f(x)∈D}.

• G001 — Let f:A→B and g:D→C be the explicit total functions A={-6, -5, -4}, B={-8, 0, 9}, D={-8, 0}, C={-12, 1, 13}, f=[(-6, -8), (-5, 0), (-4, 9)], and g=[(-8, -12), (0, 1)]. List {x∈A:f(x)∈D}.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

• mko-composition

Step-by-step derivation

(g∘f)(x)

g(f(x)):apply f first,then g

f:A→B;g:D→C;D={-8, 0}

both tables are total on their declared domains

x=-6;f(x)=-8;D={-8, 0}

f(x)∈D=Yes

x=-5;f(x)=0;D={-8, 0}

f(x)∈D=Yes

x=-4;f(x)=9;D={-8, 0}

f(x)∈D=No

{x∈A:f(x)∈D}

{-6, -5}

Reverse checks

• S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
• S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
• S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
• S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
• S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
• S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

{-6, -5}

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
