Question

If f(x) = x - 1 and g(x) = x3, what is (gºf)(8)?

Answer 1

I will assume that you meant to type (g o f)(8).

First we find f(8).

f(8) = 8 - 1 or 7.

We now find g(f(8)), which means g(7).

g(7) = 7^3 or 343

(g o f)(8) = 343:

Answer 2

343

Explanation:

f(x) = x - 1 and g(x) = x^3

g(f(8))

First find f(8) = f(8-1) = 7

Then find g(7) = 7^3 = 343

g(f(8) = 343
