Question

Consider the functions F(x)= x^2+9x and g(x)=1/x.

F(g(-1))is ? , and G(f(1/2))is ? .​

Answer 1

1). -8 2). 4/19

Explanation:

F(x)= x²+9x g(x)=1/x.

g(-1) = 1/ - 1

= -1

f(-1) = x²+9x

= -1² + 9(-1)

= 1 - 9

= -8

G(f(1/2))

f(1/2) = x²+9x

= 1/2² + 9(1/2)

= 1/4 + 9/2

= 19/4

g (19/4) = 1/x

= 1/19/4

= 4/19

Answer 2

a). -8 b). 4/19

Explanation:

F(x)= x²+9x g(x)=1/x.

g(-1) = 1/ - 1

= -1

f(-1) = x²+9x

= -1² + 9(-1)

= 1 - 9

= -8

G(f(1/2))

f(1/2) = x²+9x

= 1/2² + 9(1/2)

= 1/4 + 9/2

= 19/4

g (19/4) = 1/x

= 1/19/4

= 4/19
