Question

If f(x) = x − 4 and g(x) = 1 over 2x − 2, find f[g(−6)].

Answer 1

what the... @lgbasallote, why did you tell her I could fix this? you meanie -__- :P

Answer 2

she asked for you >:)) hint @rebeccaskell94 evaluate g(6) first..substitute 6 to every x in g(x)

Answer 3

i mean substitute -6*

Answer 4

would the answer be -3?

Answer 5

@rebeccaskell94 can take it from here

@kcute_face_bhunnie-_- no :)

Answer 6

oh wait...1 over..didnt see that lemme re-solve

Answer 7

wait i got it itss 9?

Answer 8

g(x) = \(\frac{1}{2x -2}\) right???

Answer 9

these are my choices 9

3

−9

−3

Answer 10

or is it g(x) = \(\frac{1}{2x} -2\)

Answer 11

1 over 2x - 2 means 1 is on top and 2x - 2 is on the bottom

Answer 12

Captain Obvious has arrived ;)

Answer 13

i know o.O im not getting an answer in the choices

Answer 14

Thanks for the compliment rebecca :(
How friendly you are

Answer 15

the only one that makes sense is

g(x) = \(frac{1}{2} x - 2\)

Answer 16

\(\frac{1}{2} x - 2\)

Answer 17

@rebeccaskell94 can answer it now..

Answer 18

Okay, yeah, that's probably it then. I'm going to go back and hide in my mouse hole and not disturb anyone else. Especially @rebeccaskell94

Answer 19

that's the only one that makes sense so g(-6) = (1/2)(-6) - 2 g(-6) = -3 - 2 g(-6) = -5 substitute to x of f(x) f(g(-6)) = -5 - 4 = -9

Soorry @hero....you take things personally a lot though :(
Thanks @lgbasallote

Answer 20

hahaha fail =))) your spaces makes it confusing :p
g(-6) = (1/2)(-6) - 2
g(-6) = -3 - 2
g(-6) = -5

substitute to x of f(x)

f(g(-6)) = -5 - 4 = -9

Answer 21

I don't go around calling people captain obvious though.

Answer 22

close enough ;) @lgba

Answer 23

thanks :)
