(f + g)oh = foh + goh

(f · g)oh = (foh)·(goh)

Solution

To prove:

(f + g)oh = foh + goh

Consider:

((f + g)oh)(x)

= (f + g)(h(x))

= f(h(x)) + g(h(x))

= (foh)(x) + (goh)(x)

= {(foh) + (goh)}(x)

∴ ((f + g)oh)(x) = {(foh) + (goh)}(x)   ∀ x ∈ R

Hence, (f + g)oh = foh + goh.

To prove:

(f · g)oh = (foh)·(goh)

Consider:

((f · g)oh)(x)

= (f · g)(h(x))

= f(h(x))·g(h(x))

= (foh)(x)·(goh)(x)

= {(foh)·(goh)}(x)

∴ ((f · g)oh)(x) = {(foh)·(goh)}(x)   ∀ x ∈ R

Hence, (f · g) oh = (foh)·(goh).
