Question

Y'all I am struggling Use the following functions to find each value below. f(x)=5x; g(x)=−2x+1; h(x)=x2+6x+8

Answer 1

see below the first three problems

Explanation:

f(g(-2))

First, find g(-2) using function g(x). Then use that value as input for function f(x).

g(x) = -2x + 1

g(-2) = -2(-2) + 1

g(-2) = 5

f(x) = 5x

f(5) = 5(5)

f(5) = 25

f(g(-2)) = 25

g(h(3))

First, find h(3) using function h(x). Then use that value as input for function g(x).

h(x) = x^2 + 6x + 8

h(3) = 3^2 + 6(3) + 8 = 9 + 18 + 8

h(3) = 35

g(x) = -2x + 1

g(35) = -2(35) + 1 = -70 + 1

g(35) = -69

g(h(3)) = -69

f(g(3a))

First, find g(3a) using function g(x). Then use that value as input for function f(x).

g(x) = -2x + 1

g(3a) = -2(3a) + 1

g(3a) = -6a + 1

f(x) = 5x

f(-6a + 1) = 5(-6a + 1)

f(-6a + 1) = -30a + 5

f(g(3a)) = -30a + 5
