Question

F(x)=-5x+2 and g(x)=1/2x+4 find f(g(12))

Answer 1

- 48

Explanation:

If you want to learn more about this concept, it's called composition of functions.

First, you plug in g(x) as if it were x into f(x).

f(g(x))= -5 (1/2x + 4) + 2

= -5/2x - 20 + 2

= -5/2x - 18

Then, plug in the value given, as x.

= -5/2 (12) - 18

= -30 - 18

= - 48

I hope this helped!
