Correct answer: C

  1. Find the domain of each basic function

Given: f(x)=x,g(x)=1−xf(x)=\sqrt{x}, \qquad g(x)=\sqrt{1-x}f(x)=x​,g(x)=1−x​

For square roots to be defined, the expressions inside must be non-negative.

  • For f(x)=xf(x)=\sqrt{x}f(x)=x​: x≥0x\ge 0x≥0 So, Df=[0,∞)D_f=[0,\infty)Df​=[0,∞)

  • For g(x)=1−xg(x)=\sqrt{1-x}g(x)=1−x​: 1−x≥0  ⟹  x≤11-x\ge 0 \implies x\le 11−x≥0⟹x≤1 So, Dg=(−∞,1]D_g=(-\infty,1]Dg​=(−∞,1]

  1. Domain of f+gf+gf+g, f−gf-gf−g, and g−fg-fg−f

These require both f(x)f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x)g(x) to be defined. So their common requirement is: x≥0andx≤1x\ge 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x\le 1x≥0andx≤1 Hence, Df+g=Df−g=Dg−f=[0,1]D_{f+g}=D_{f-g}=D_{g-f}=[0,1]Df+g​=Df−g​=Dg−f​=[0,1]

  1. Domain of fg\dfrac{f}{g}gf​

We need:

  • f(x)f(x)f(x) defined
  • g(x)g(x)g(x) defined
  • g(x)≠0g(x)\ne 0g(x)=0

Now, g(x)=1−x=0  ⟺  1−x=0  ⟺  x=1g(x)=\sqrt{1-x}=0 \iff 1-x=0 \iff x=1g(x)=1−x​=0⟺1−x=0⟺x=1

So for fg\dfrac{f}{g}gf​: 0≤x≤1,x≠10\le x\le 1, \quad x\ne 10≤x≤1,x=1 Thus, Df/g=[0,1)D_{f/g}=[0,1)Df/g​=[0,1)

  1. Domain of gf\dfrac{g}{f}fg​

We need:

  • f(x)f(x)f(x) defined
  • g(x)g(x)g(x) defined
  • f(x)≠0f(x)\ne 0f(x)=0

Now, f(x)=x=0  ⟺  x=0f(x)=\sqrt{x}=0 \iff x=0f(x)=x​=0⟺x=0

So for gf\dfrac{g}{f}fg​: 0≤x≤1,x≠00\le x\le 1, \quad x\ne 00≤x≤1,x=0 Thus, Dg/f=(0,1]D_{g/f}=(0,1]Dg/f​=(0,1]

  1. Common domain of all the given functions

The functions listed are: f+g,f−g,fg,gf,g−ff+g,\quad f-g,\quad \frac{f}{g},\quad \frac{g}{f},\quad g-ff+g,f−g,gf​,fg​,g−f

Their domains are:

  • [0,1][0,1][0,1]
  • [0,1][0,1][0,1]
  • [0,1)[0,1)[0,1)
  • (0,1](0,1](0,1]
  • [0,1][0,1][0,1]

The common domain is the intersection: [0,1]∩[0,1]∩[0,1)∩(0,1]∩[0,1]=(0,1)[0,1]\cap [0,1]\cap [0,1)\cap (0,1]\cap [0,1]=(0,1)[0,1]∩[0,1]∩[0,1)∩(0,1]∩[0,1]=(0,1)

So the correct option is: C: 0<x<1\boxed{\text{C: } 0<x<1}C: 0<x<1​
