Medal will be awarded Let f(x) = 4x – 32 and g(x) = 4x. Part 1 [4 points] What is (f ◦ g)(x) ? Part 2 [2 points] Use complete sentences to describe the method you used to solve this problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first off, when you do one of these step number one is to get rid of the little circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f\circ g(x)=f(g(x))\] that is always step one

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

If you are trying to fine f(g(x)) Then you just plug the g equation into the x of the f equation.

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

|dw:1373231310181:dw| then you just solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

step two is to replace the general \(g(x)\) by the specific one that you have in this case step two would be \[f(4x)\] because in this example \(g(x)=4x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

step three is replace the \(x\) in \(f(x)\) by whatever is in the parentheses in this example it is \[f(4x)=4\times 4x-32\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and finally step 4 is to write whatever you get in standard form, here it would be \(16x-32\) which is probably what @marissalovescats meant when she said "solve for \(x\)" but it is not really solving for \(x\), it is just rewriting

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Yup^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and those are almost complete sentences

OpenStudy (loser66):

got it?

OpenStudy (magbak):

No actually they answered the question but I got lost in the middle again.
