Step 1 inches(x) = 12x converts feet to inches

OpenStudy (nurali):

Step 2 feet(y) = 3y converts yards to feet

OpenStudy (nurali):

Step 3 inches(feet(y)) = 12(3y) = 36y converts yards to inches.

how do i do that whatis x

OpenStudy (nurali):

To convert feet to inches, you multiply by 12, since there are 12 inches in each foot. So f(x) = 12x To convert yards to feet, you multiply by 3, since there are 3 feet in each yard. So g(x) = 3x Then the composite function "plugs" g(x) into f(x): f(g(x)) = 12g(x) = 12(3x) = 36x This function first converts yards into feet and then feet into inches...so altogether, f(g(x)) converts yards into inches (which makes sense, because there are 36 inches in a yard). f(g(3)) = 12(3(3)) = 36(3) = 108 inches in 3 yards
