trying to figure out fog(x) and gof(x)...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x) = 2x^2 +2, g(x)=5x\]

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Suppose you have \[f(x)=x+1\] \[g(x)=x^2\] \[fog(x)=f(g(x))=g(x)+1=x^2+1\] Do you get thus?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

*this @sgta101

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so when i do 2(5x)^2 it's 50x^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wrong, f(g(x) = 2(5x)^2 +2 That is is 50x^2 + 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and g(f(x) is 10x^2 +10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for fog(x) i plug in g(x) and for gof(x) i plug in f(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, everytime you see an x in f, plug in g

thx
