Given: the table:

x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3

f(x) 8 7 6 5 4 3 2

g(x) -7 -2 0 1 0 -2 -7

Let's solve for the following:

• (a). (f o g)(1)

To solve this function operation, we have:

(f o g)(1) = f(g(1))

Here we are to find the value of f when g(1).

Therefore, we have:

g(1) = 0

f(g(1)) = f(0) = 5

Hence, we have:

(f o g)(1) = 5

• (b). (f o g)(2)

Apply the formula:

(f o g)(x) = f(g(x))

Thus, we have:

(f o g)(2) = f(g(2))

From the table, we have:

g(2) = -2

f(g(2) = f(-2) = 7

Hence, we have:

(f o g)(2) = 7

• (c). (g o f)(2)

We have:

(g o f)(2) = g(f(2))

From the table, we have:

f(2) = 3

g(f(2)) = g(3) = -7

Thus we have:

(f o g)(2) = -7

• (d). (g o f)(3)

Apply the f
