Hello :
f(x) = −x + 4 and g(x) = −2x − 3,
solve for f(g(x)) when x = 2.
f(g(2)) = f(-7)
because : g(2) = -2(2)-3 = -7
f(g(2)) = -(-7)+4 =11
11
Step-by-step explanation:
g(2)=-7
f(-7)=11
D
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to find which function represents f(g(x)) and then you replace each x in this new function by 2.
f(4), for example, is f when x = 4, right? So f(4) = -4+4 = 0
So, f(g(x)) will represent f when x = g(x). x = g(x) when x = -2x-3
So, f(g(x)) = f(-2x-3) = -(-2x-3) + 4
= -(-2x)-(-3)+4
= 2x + 3 + 4
= 2x + 7
So f(g(x)) = 2x + 7.
Now when x = 2, f(g(x)) = 2*2 + 4 = 11, which is option D.
f(g(x))= 11
Step-by-step explanation:
This question asks us to find f(g(x)) when x=2. Therefore, we can substitute 2 in for x.
f(g(x)), x=2
f(g(2))
First, we must find g(2).
We know that g(x)= -2x-3. We can plug 2 in for each x and solve.
g(x)= -2x -3, x=2
g(2)= -2(2)-3
First, multiply -2 and 2.
g(2)= -4-3
Then, subtract 3 from -4.
g(2)= -7
Let's return to our function: f(g(2)). We know that g(2)= -7. Thus, we can substitute -7 in for g(2).
f(g(2)), g(2)= -7
f(-7)
Now we must find f(-7). We know that f(x)= -x+4. We can plug -7 in for x and solve.
f(x)= -x+4 , x= -7
f(-7)= -(-7) +4
f(-7)= 7+4
Add 7 and 4
f(-7)= 11
Our final answer is: f(g(x))= 11
F(x) = -x + 4
g(x) = -2x - 3
f(g(x)) = -(-2x - 3) + 4 = 2x + 3 + 4 = 2x + 7
f(g(2)) = 2(2) + 7 = 4 + 7 = 11
f(x)= -x+4 and g(x) =-2x-3
f(g(x))= -(-2x-3) + 4= 2x +3+4 =2x + 7
Answer is f(g(x)) =2x+7
G(2) = -4-3 = -7
So f(g(2)) = f(-7) = 7+4 = 11
Input
f(g(x))=-(g(x))+4=
g(x)=-2x-3
so
if x=2
f(g(2))=-(g(2))+4
g(2)=-2(2)-3=-4-3=-7
f(g(2))=-(-7)+4=7+4=11
f(g(2))=11
