Let f(x) = 9x - 2 and g(x) = -x + 3. Find f(g(x)). -9x - 2 -9x + 5 -9x + 25 -9x + 27

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to solve both of them together :l

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

just substitute the x from f(x) for (-x+3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried to solve f(x) and got x + 2 over 9

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok, you have on f(x) = 9x -2 now substitute the x for -x+3 and you have 9(-x+3) -2 now solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok first i need to distribute right?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-x(9) + 3(9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplified to -x9 + 27?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

remember the -2 so it is -9x + 27 -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright so whats next?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

that's it, so -9x + 27 -2 you can combine 27 -2 and you get -9x + 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sweet, thanks man! could u help me with 2 more?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

sure
