Easy!!!

I have 8 other problems and everyone says this is really easy but I don't get it and I'm freaking out

Explanation:

f(g(10))

This is called a composite function. It's when you plug one function into another.

First, find g(10):

g(x) = √(x-9)

g(10) = √(10-9)

g(10) = √1

g(10) = 1

Then plug that into f(x):

f(x) = -9x - 9

f(g(10)) = -9 g(10) - 9

f(g(10)) = -9 (1) - 9

f(g(10)) = -9 - 9

f(g(10)) = -18
