The value of the function is (g*f)(-1) =1296

To determine the composite function, we have to substitute the value of one function into another.

We have that the functions are;

f(x)=-5x-1

g(x)= x⁴

Now, to determine (g*f)(-1), we have;

(g*f) = (5x-1)⁴

substitute the value of x as -1, we get;

(g*f)(-1) = (5(-1) -1)⁴

expand the bracket, we get;

(g*f)(-1) = (-6)⁴

find the value, we get;

(g*f)(-1) =1296
