f(0) = -2

g(-1) = undefined.

The value of real numbers x so that f(x) = -3 : None

Step - by - Step Explanation

What to find?

• f(0)

,

• g(-1)

,

• The value of all real numbers x so that f(x) = -3

Given:

f(x) =x² - 2

g(x) = x/x+1

To find f(0), substitute x = 0 into the function f(x).

That is;

f(0) = (0)² - 2

f(0) = -2

To find g(-1), substitute x = -1 into the function g(x)


g(-1)=(-1)/(-1+1)
=(-1)/(0)

= undefine.

All real numbers so that f(x) = -3.

This implies we are to find the value of x when f(x) = -3.

To do that, substitute f(x) = -3 into the function f(x) and solve for x.

That is;

-3 =x² - 2

x² - 2 = -3

Add 2 to both-side of the equation.

x² = -3 + 2

x² = -1

Take the square root of both-side.

x =±√-1

x = ±i

The square root of -1 gives and imaginary number.

This implies there is no real number that makes f(x) =-3.
