help pls
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what is \(f(-1)\)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it -1 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think it should be 1/2(-1)^2 +3

\[(-1)^2
\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
like it asks If f(x) = x^2 and g(x) = 1 over 2x + 3 , find g(f(-1)).
A.-1
B. 1/25
C.1/5
D. 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
First find \(f(-1)\).
OpenStudy (anonymous):
isn't f (-1) -1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
???

Okay, I guess I have to do it then....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[
f(-1) = (-1)^2=(-1)(-1)=1
\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Can you comprehend this?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do I need to start drawing pictures?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no i get it y is 1 now

So do you see that \(g(f(-1)) = g(1)\)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Can you solve \(g(1)\)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
don't you plug it in the 1 over 2x+3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):
??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
u there
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You change \(x\) to be \((1)\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then simplify
