Answer:


\left(g\:\circ \:\:\:h\right)\left(-4\right)=-2

Hence, option B) is true.

Explanation:

Given

g(t) = t² - 2

h(t) = t + 4

To determine


\left(g\:\circ \:\:h\right)\left(-4\right)=?

Using the formula


\left(g\:\circ \:\:h\right)\left(-4\right)\:=g\left(h\left(-4\right)\right)

In order to determine g(h(-4)), first we need to determine h(-4), so

substituting t = -4 in h(t) = t + 4

h(t) = t + 4

h(-4) = -4 + 4

h(-4) = 0

so we can write


\left(g\:\circ \:\:\:h\right)\left(-4\right)\:=g\left(h\left(-4\right)\right)=g\left(0\right)

now, to determine g(0), substitute t = 0 in g(t) = t² - 2v

g(t) = t² - 2

g(0) = (0)² - 2

g(0) = 0 - 2

g(0) = -2

so, finally we get


\left(g\:\circ \:\:\:h\right)\left(-4\right)\:=g\left(h\left(-4\right)\right)=g\left(0\right)=-2

Therefore,


\left(g\:\circ \:\:\:h\right)\left(-4\right)=-2

Hence, option B) is true.
