Question

For all values of x f(x)

Answer 1

f(g(5)) = 64

g(f(5)) = 28

Explanation:

Given that f(x) = x^2 and g(x) = x+3

f(g(x) = f(x+3)

f(x+3) = (x+3)^2

f(g(x)) = (x+3)^2

f(g(5)) = (5+3)^2

f(g(5)) = 8^2

f(g(5)) = 64

b) g(f(x)) = g(x^2)

g(f(x)) = x^2 + 3

g(f(5)) = 5^2 +3

g(f(5)) = 25 + 3

g(f(5)) = 28

Hence the value of g(f(5)) is 28
