Question

Use the functions f(x)=√x+1, g(x)=2x-5, and h(x) = 3x² - 3 to complete the table.

f(g(x))

Answer 1

To find the values of f(g(x)) for the given values of x, we need to first evaluate g(x) for each value of x, and then plug the result into f(x).

Using the given functions:

g(x) = 2x - 5

f(x) = √(x+1)

Therefore, we have:

f(g(x)) = √(g(x) + 1) = √(2x - 5 + 1) = √(2x - 4) = 2√(x - 2)

So, we can complete the table as follows:

x f(g(x))

4 2

10 4

20 6

34 8

52 10

Therefore, the completed table is:

x f(g(x))

4 2

10 4

20 6

34 8

52 10
