Perform the requested operation or operations. f(x) = (x-3)/(8) .; g(x) = 8x + 3, find g(f(x)). Answer Choice: g(f(x)) = x g(f(x)) = x - three divided by eight. g(f(x)) = 8x + 21 g(f(x)) = x + 6

Have you considered substituting f(x) into g(x) and working the remaining algebra?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, I just keep getting x, as my answer. However I am not sure if that is correct.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Did you do it incorrectly on purpose? If not, why do you doubt? Show your work and I can verify.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, I believe that g (f (x)) = x, the problem is that I am not sure, that is why I need someone to verify.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Did you yet show your work? I' can't show it for you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's fine, I was correct. Thank You

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Note: If functions are inverses of each other, that is the expected result. f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I did not know that. Thank You !
