I'm super confused on parts g and h because no formula is given, just the limit values. These are the values:

lim f(x) = 16
x is approaching 4

lim g(x) = -2
x is approaching 4​

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

1)

So we have the limit:


\lim_(x\to 4) (f\circ g)(x)

This is equivalent to:


\lim_(x\to 4) f(g(x))

To solve, we can use the following property:


\lim_(x \to c) f(g(x))=f( \lim_(x \to c) g(x))

Therefore, our limit is the same as:


\lim_(x\to 4) f(g(x))\\=f(\lim_(x\to 4) g(x))

We are already given that the limit as x approaches 4 of g(x) is -2. Therefore:


=f(-2)

You simply need to evaluate this to solve the limit. I don't have enough information to solve this, so maybe you have something more.

Similarly, for the second one:

2)

We have:


\lim_(x\to 4) (g\circ f)(x)\\=\lim_(x\to 4)g(f(x))

Using the same property:


=g(\lim_(x\to 4) f(x))

And we are told that this is 16, so:


=g(16)

And we just need to evaluate this to find the limit.

I hope you find this helpful!
