Let f(x) = -4x + 7 and g(x) = 10x - 6. Find f(g(x)).

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Start with f(x) = -4x + 7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Replace EVERY x with g(x) f(x) = -4x + 7 f(g(x)) = -4( g(x) ) + 7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then on the right side, replace g(x) with 10x-6 f(g(x)) = -4( g(x) ) + 7 f(g(x)) = -4( 10x - 6 ) + 7 I'll let you finish up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-40x+27+7 -40x+34

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

-4 times -6 is NOT 27

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24 sorry

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the final answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-40x + 24

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

f(g(x)) = -4( 10x - 6 ) + 7 f(g(x)) = -4( 10x ) - 4(-6 ) + 7 f(g(x)) = -40x + 24 + 7 f(g(x)) = -40x + 31

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

You forgot the +7 at the end

OpenStudy (dan815):

Let f(x) = -4x + 7 and g(x) = 10x - 6. Find f(g(x)). f(g(x))=-4(10x - 6) + 7 <--- simplify

Goodness Dan I got already..
