Solution

To find the functions f(x) f(x) and g(x) g(x) such that f(g(x))=cos(5x+4) f(g(x)) = \cos(5x + 4) , we can explore the composition of functions and the structure of the cosine function.

Step 1: Analyzing the Composition

The given equation states that we need to perform function composition. In this case, we have f(g(x))=cos(5x+4) f(g(x)) = \cos(5x + 4) . We can identify potential functions g(x) g(x) and f(x) f(x) by manipulating the expression inside the cosine function.

Step 2: Choosing a Suitable g(x) g(x)

A reasonable choice for g(x) g(x) could be a linear transformation. For example, let us define: g(x)=5x+4 g(x) = 5x + 4 This will transform x x into the argument of the cosine function.

Step 3: Defining f(x) f(x)

With our choice of g(x) g(x) , we then need to find f(x) f(x) such that: f(5x+4)=cos(5x+4) f(5x + 4) = \cos(5x + 4) This leads us to define f(x) f(x) in terms of its argument. Thus, we can let: f(x)=cos(x) f(x) = \cos(x)

Final Answer

The functions are: g(x)=5x+4 g(x) = 5x + 4 f(x)=cos(x) f(x) = \cos(x)

This satisfies the given relation, and it is not a trivial solution since g(x) g(x) does not equal x x . Other non-trivial combinations of f f and g g could also exist, but this pair is a simple and valid solution.
