A hint to get started

Check whole-domain composition before finding its range

The functions ff and gg are defined by

f:x↦sin⁡(x+π4)f:x\mapsto\sin\left(x+\dfrac\pi4\right), x∈Rx\in\mathbb R, −π2≤x≤π2-\dfrac\pi2\leq x\leq\dfrac\pi2,

g:x↦ln⁡(2−x)g:x\mapsto\ln(2-x), x∈Rx\in\mathbb R, x<2x<2.

Explain whether the following composite function exist

(a) gfgf

(b) fgfg

If the composite function exists, determine the rule, domain and range. marks

Compare the entire inner range with the outer domain; evaluate the extrema only after the composite passes this test.
