Suppose that f(x) = (1/(x + 1)) and g(x) = (4/(x + 1)) .  Find the domain of each of the composition   (a) f o g   (b)  f o f
$$\mathrm{Suppose}\:\mathrm{that}\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{x}\:+\:\mathrm{1}}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{g}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{x}\:+\:\mathrm{1}}\:. \\ $$$$\mathrm{Find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{domain}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{each}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{composition}\: \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{a}\right)\:\mathrm{f}\:\mathrm{o}\:\mathrm{g}\:\:\:\left(\mathrm{b}\right)\:\:\mathrm{f}\:\mathrm{o}\:\mathrm{f} \\ $$

f(x) = (1/(x + 1))         g(x) = (4/(x + 1))  a   f(g(x)) = f((4/(x + 1))) = (1/((4/(x + 1)) + 1))  Domain : (4/(x + 1)) + 1 ≠ 0  (4/(x + 1)) ≠ −1  (4/(−1)) ≠ x + 1  −4 ≠ x + 1  x ≠ −5  b  f(f(x)) = f((1/(x + 1))) = (1/((1/(x + 1)) + 1))  Domain: (1/(x + 1)) + 1 ≠ 0  (1/(x + 1)) ≠ −1  (1/(−1)) ≠ x + 1  −1 ≠  x + 1  x ≠ −2
