Question

If f(x) = 3x + 3, g(x) = 3x + 3, and h(x) = x + 3, what is [g o f o h](–5)?

A: –30
B: –24
C: –15
D: –6

Answer 1

The answer would be -6.
Start by substituting -5 into the 'h' function.
h(-5) = -5 + 3 = -2
Now substitute this answer into the 'f' function.
f(-2) = 3(-2) + 3 = -3
now substitute this answer into the 'g' function
g(-3) = 3(-3) + 3 = -6
D is your answer

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. -6

Explanation:

f(x) = 3x + 3

g(x) = 3x + 3

h(x) = x + 3

We need to find : [g o f o h](–5)

⇒ [g o f o h](–5)

⇒ [g o f]h(-5)

⇒ [g o f](-5 + 3)

⇒ [g o f](-2)

⇒ [g]f(-2)

⇒ [g](3 × -2 + 3)

⇒ [g](-6 + 3)

⇒ g(-3)

⇒ 3 × -3 + 3

⇒ -9 + 3

⇒ -6

Therefore, The correct answer is D. -6
