Question

(hºg)(-5) show work please. that is not a deg sign btw...not sure what it is but its a small "o" inbetween

Answer 1

You need to know h(x) and g(x). The symbol is a composition symbol. It asks you to take h(g(x)).

Answer 2

What are h(x) and g(x)?

Answer 3

oh sorry @albertedison98 lol
g(x)=2x h(x)=x^2+4

Answer 4

So you want to know h(g(-5)). Start with the inside: g(-5)=2(-5)=-10.
Then, h(-10)=(-10)^2+4=100+4=104. So, h(g(-5)=104.

Answer 5

thanks so much @albertedison98 !!!!!!
