Step-by-step explanation:
_______________________________________________________
Given:
" Let f(x) = -2x − 7 and g(x) = -4x + 3. Find (f o g)(-5) " ;
_______________________________________________
First, find g(-5) . g(x) = -4x + 3.
g(-5) = -4*(-5) + 3 = 20 + 3 = 23 ;
_______________________________________________
Now find f (g(-5) to get the answer; that is f(23);
_______________________________________________
Find f(23). f(x) = -2x − 7 .
f(23) = (-2*23) − 7 = -46 − 7 = -53 ; which is "Answer choice: [A]" .
