\(\mathrm{f}:x\mapsto {{e}^{-2x}},x\in \mathbb{R},x>0\) and \(\mathrm{g}:x\mapsto {{x}^{3}}+1,x\in \mathbb{R}\).

Determine, with reasons, whether \(\mathrm{fg}\) and \(\mathrm{gf}\) exist. If the composite function exists, give the rule, domain and range in exact form.

Answer: \(\text{fg}\) doesn’t exist; \(\text{gf}\) exists. \(\text{gf}\hspace{0.1em}\left( x \right)={{e}^{-6x}}+1\), \({{D}_{\text{gf}}}=(0,\infty )\), \({{R}_{\text{gf}}}=\left( 1,2 \right)\)
