Find f(g(x)) and g(f(x)). f(x)=-7x g(x)=cosx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(g(x))=-7cosx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

g(f(x))=cos(-7x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks right , note that cos -7x = cos 7x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so answer that I had for g(f(x)) is incorrect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos7x is a fully-simplified answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a picky answer.. yes look right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And this is due to the even-odd property of cos, yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right the cosine of a negative angle is equal to the cosine of the positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup
