To find the value of f(g(-4)), we need to first substitute -4 into the definition of g(x) and then substitute the result into the definition of f(x).

First we substitute -4 into g(x):

g(-4) = 2(-4)^2 + 4(-4) - 8

g(-4) = 2(16) + (-16) - 8

g(-4) = 32 - 16 - 8

g(-4) = 8

Now we substitute 8 into f(x):

f(g(-4)) = f(8) = 2(8) - 4 = 16 - 4 = 12

So the value of f(g(-4)) is 12.

Answer:

28

Explanation:

The expression: f(g(-4)) just means calculate the value of g at x = -4 and then calculate what f is equal to at that value g is equal to, so we have to first calculate g(-4) which we can do by substituting in -4 as x.

g(-4) = 2(-4)^2 + 4(-4) - 8

g(-4) = 2(16) - 8 - 8

g(-4) = 32 - 16

g(-4) = 16

Now from here we can substitute 16 as g(-4) in the expression f(g(-4)) which means we want to evaluate g(16) which we can do by substituting in 16 as x.

f(16) = 2(16) - 4

f(16) = 32 - 4

f(16) = 28

So that means f(g(-4)) = 28
