f(x)=xtothefifth and g(x)=-2-3xsqaured which is f(g(x))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-2-3xsquared)tothefifth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you take g(x) to be your x and therefore insert -2-3x^2 into f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then you get what @wio just wrote :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But you still may have to expand it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when x=t, \[g(t)=-2-3t^2\] Then \[f(g(t)=(-2-3t^2)^4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, why should you expand it if you already have the simplified version? I mean it depends on what they want but I think it would be pointless to expand to the power of 5 if you already have the expression simplified.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(g(t))=(−2−3t2)^5, not 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Rimplestorck my bad...should be \[f(g(t))=(-2-3t^2)^5\]
