Question

Use the graphs of f(x) and g(x) given below to estimate:

Answer 1

what is g(-1) equal to?

Answer 2

-1,0

Answer 3

the point (-1,0) lies on g(x), yep

Answer 4

so g(-1) = 0

Answer 5

so when we say f( g(-1) )

we really mean f( 0 )

notice how I replaced "g(-1)" with "0"

Answer 6

ohhh, okay. so the answer for f(g(-1)) is simply 0?

Answer 7

no, I'm saying f(g(-1)) = f(0)

Answer 8

you now need to find f(0)

Answer 9

0,3

Answer 10

that looks about right

Answer 11

it's hard to say 100% exactly

Answer 12

but let's go with it, so f(g(-1)) = 3

Answer 13

and that would be the final answer?

Answer 14

for that part, yes

Answer 15

ok now for the second part to see if I understand it. say f(g(3))=f(-2)

Answer 16

g(3) = -2 ?

Answer 17

and the points for f(-2) is -2,1. So f(g(3))= 1?

Answer 18

I think you're looking at the wrong curve

Answer 19

woops. I am/ thanks for catching that

Answer 20

Im gonna estimate it to 3,4

Answer 21

and f(4) is 4,5

Answer 22

g(3) = -4 or around there

Answer 23

so f(g(3)) = f(-4) = ??

Answer 24

its a little bit above 2 so, I would say 3

Answer 25

this is what I get for g(3)

Answer 26

ohh, right...I keep looking at the wrong function..
