I hope this helps you




f (7)=7^2+6


f (7)=49+6


f (7)=55


g (f (7))=g (55)=55+8/55


g (55)=63/55

Base on the given values above, here is how we found the correct answer.
At first, what we need to do is to evaluate x first. (g ° f)(–7) is equal to g(f(-7)). So x = -7. So now, plug in the values:
f (7)=7^2+6
f (7)=49+6
f (7)=55
g (f (7))=g (55)=55+8/55
g (55)=63/55
So the answer would be 63/55.
Hope this answer helps.
