Okay, so I need help, bad. Here's the question:
The Martians ask you to explain one last thing, Ultimate Math Ambassador. They ask you to create a new function, h(x). Then assign any number to x. Using complete sentences, explain whether f(h(x)) and h(f(x)) will always result in the same number. You will use the function f(x) that you created in problem number 2. My function is: f(x) = 3x – 2 + 2

anonymous · Answer

I think this requires knowing what h(x) is

anonymous · Answer

otherwise we are just plotting f(x)

anonymous · Answer

Oh sorry, h(x) = 2x + 10

anonymous · Answer

are you doing flvs?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, I;ve read over the section a trillion times, but I can't grasp it, and my teacher takes a little time to reply, so I thought getting help here would be quicker.

anonymous · Answer

okay so if x = -3 than f(h(x)) = 12 and h(f(x)) = -8 and this means that f(h(x)) and h(f(x)) are not equivalent. In f(x) the +2 and -2 cancel out so f(x) basically equals 3x

anonymous · Answer

either you didn't need to put the -2 + 2 there or you forgot to put parentheses around the 3x-2

Thanks, I assumed they weren't equal. :-)
