Question

Suppose that the functions u and w are defined as follows.

Answer 1

- 3 and 3

Explanation:

To evaluate (u ￮ w)(- 1), evaluate w(- 1) then use this value to evaluate u(x)

w(- 1) = (- 1)² + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3, then

u(3) = - 3

---------------------------------------------------

To evaluate (w ￮ u)(- 1), evaluate u(- 1) then use this value to evaluate w(x)

u( - 1) = - (- 1) = 1, then

w(1) = 1² + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3
