Let f(x) = 3x^2 - 1 and g(x) = 2/x. What is the value of f(g(4))?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve g(x) first (Use the value of 4) then take that answer and plug in for x in the function f(x).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What will be g(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nevermind, I'm stupid. It's 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So f(x) =3 (1/2)^2 correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes so the answer is -1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2 squared is 1/4 multiply that by 3 and you get 3/4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but then -1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
