Sagot :
Answer:
(g ○ f )(- 5) = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluate f(- 5), then substitute the value obtained into g(x)
f(- 5) = - 2(- 5) - 7 = 10 - 7 = 3 , then
g(3) = - 4(3) + 6 = - 12 + 6 = - 6
Answer:
[tex](gof)(-5)=-6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
One is given the following information;
[tex]f(x)=-2x-7\\g(x)=-4x+6[/tex]
One is asked to find the following,
[tex](g o f)(-5)[/tex]
The expression ([tex]gof[/tex]) is another way to denote ([tex]g(f(x))[/tex]), in essence, substitute function (f) into function (g) in place of parameter (x). The simplify to find the resulting function;
[tex]g(f(x))\\=-4(-2x-7)+6\\=(-4)(-2x)+(-4)(-7)+6\\=8x+28+6\\=8x+34[/tex]
One is asked to evaluate the function ([tex]gof[/tex]) for (-5). Substitute (-5) into the function and simplify to evaluate;
[tex](gof)(-5)=8x+34\\=8(-5)+34\\=-40+34\\=-6[/tex]
