for f(x)=1/x-5 and g(x)=x^2+2, substitute the value of g(x) into the function f(x) in place of x to find the value of f(g(x))

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

It tells you what to do here "substitute the value of g(x) into the function f(x) in place of x"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it'd be f(x^2+2)=1/(x^2+2)-5? @agent0smith

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you! Could that be simplified or is that just the answer? @agent0smith

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Well i don't know what the expression is, since you didn't use any brackets to specify, so I can't say for sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the original functions were...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then my answer was...

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Then yes, I'm sure you're capable of simplifying that denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just to check, I got this. This is correct, right?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yes
