@UnkleRhaukus can you help
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
can you turn the expression for g(x) into mathematical symbols
g(x) = the quantity of 4x plus 2 divided by 3
=
OpenStudy (anonymous):
g(x)=4x+2/3
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
' the quantity ' bit means you need some parenthesis
g(x)=(4x+2)/3
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
The question is looking for g(f(0))
lets find f(0) first;
f(x) = 3x + 1
subbing in zero for x, we get
f(0) = 3(0) + 1
= what does this simplify to ?

f(0)=4

no wait not 4

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
careful that 3(0) really mean 3 x 0
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
yeah f(0) = 1

so all we have left to do is find
g(f(0)) = g(1)
and we already have
g(x) = (4x+2)/3
so sub in x=1
g(1) =
OpenStudy (anonymous):
g(1)=(4(1)+2)/3
=(4+2)/3
= 6/3
=2
g(1)=2
