Question

i need help with this question Given that f(x) = 5x − 10 and g(x) = x + 3, solve for f(g(x)) when x = −1

Answer 1

\(f(x)=5x-10\) then \(f(\square )=5\square-11\)
\(f(\bigstar)=5\bigstar-11\)
so \(f(\color{red}{g(x)})=5?-11\)

Answer 2

what should i put in place of question mark? doing the same thing i did with
the star, with the square or even x as it was already

Answer 3

im not totally sure because this is exactly wat it asking me

Given that f(x) = 5x − 10 and g(x) = x + 3, solve for f(g(x)) when x = −1.

−30

0

10

12

Answer 4

first thing find \(f(g(x))\) following what i given as examples okay
we will go to when x=1 after

Answer 5

oh ok then so would it possibly be maybe 0 ?

Answer 6

or 10 ?

Answer 7

he forgot the given option okay
read my reply above and look at it and see if you understand what you should do

Answer 8

let me ask you a question
evaluate f(2)? how would you do that

Answer 9

ummm i think you woukd square ?

Answer 10

square what? our function is \(f(x)=5x-10\) there nothing to square here
pay attention \(f(\color{magenta}{x})=5\color{magenta}{x}-10\)
\(f(\color{magenta}{2})=5(\color{magenta}{2})-10\)
what i did here is replace x with 2

Answer 11

so what is \(f(\color{red}{2+t})\)

Answer 12

we are trying to learn this so pay some attention okay^_^

Answer 13

ohhhh ok so then it mostly multiplying right ? to wher it could be possible 10 or 12 ??
and lol im sorry im paying attention carefullly

Answer 14

im sorry im not good with alegebra 2 like at all have to a exam 34 questions and this is one of them online

Answer 15

hey you don't seem to pay attention
i said forgot about the options you were given!
we are trying to build this up and eventually we will get to the answer

Answer 16

hey im trying and im full on attention . i never understand this type of stuff

Answer 17

that's valid! there is no such thing as i'm not good at something
we all start learning at some point! the more you struggle with something, the more you learn it!

Answer 18

true buttttt im not great doing alegebra 2 online on virtual school like legit man !!!

Answer 19

what i'm saying is put instead of x anything else that they want you to evaluate
like a number (can be any number)
or expression like \(2+t\)

Answer 20

oh ok i think

Answer 21

hey just forgot for the moment that you have troubles with algebra
empty you head with those thoughts! make your self ready to learn!
doesn't matter for me if you are good at this or not okay! our focus is solve this task^_^

Answer 22

lolz okay dokie ^_^

Answer 23

Now! follow
my function is \(f(x)=5x-10\) this for x (x means for any number)
i want to find f(2), now 2 is a specific input
all i need is to plug in 2 (replace x by 2 anywhere i see x i will put 2)
so i got \(f(2)=5\times2-10\)

Answer 24

i can do this for any other number and also an expression like
2+w this an expression

Answer 25

you understand so far?

Answer 26

a little bit

Answer 27

okay so what is \(f(3)\)

Answer 28

3

Answer 29

let's go slowly then hehe

Answer 30

look what i did for 2 do the same thing okay

Answer 31

pause and put some thinking about it okay!
pls try to motivate yourself to learn this! it is not hard as you look at it
it is you that convinced yourself to believe that this is hard

Answer 32

grrrrr ok lol

Answer 33

okay take a good look at \(f(\color{blueviolet}{2})=5\times\color{blueviolet}{2}-10\)
you need to do the same thing with 3

Answer 34

ok

Answer 35

show me your work okay

Answer 36

i give up lol legit im sorry but i do thanks anyways but im just gionna take another guess again grrr >_<

Answer 37

hehehe let me tell you a short story!
when i started learning math in particular algebra my teacher used to ask me what is \(5^2\) i responded sometimes 10 sometimes 15. i was really bad at the subject! but i never give up! i struggled to learn it. by the end of the semester I turned my worst subject to a subject that i get interested in more and more!

Answer 38

I'm still bad! so don't ever look down. we are made to learn and progress so don't be lazy!
try! put your efforts on it!

Answer 39

my advice to you is start thinking about things in a different positive way^_^
