Question

I need help with Function Operations please

Answer 1

30

Explanation:

The ring operator signifies a composition of functions. The composition is evaluated right-to-left. That means the composition ...

`(f\circ g)(x)`

should be interpreted to mean ...

`f(g(x))`

___

To evaluate f(g(6)), we first evaluate g(6):

g(6) = 6² -5 = 31

Then we evaluate the function f using that as its argument:

f(31) = 31 -1 = 30

f(g(x)) = 30
