Answer 1

ok now they are saying "compose" notice the open small circle

Answer 2

instead of the dot

Answer 3

okay I thought that's what it was :D

Answer 4

(g o f)(-7) is the same as g( f(-7) )

Answer 5

okay

Answer 6

so what you need to do is find f(-7) first

Answer 7

okay so I do -7^2+6
49+6
f(-7)=55?

Answer 8

yes now you plug in the result of 55 in for x in the function g(x)

Answer 9

Remember, there is a difference between \(-7^2\) and \((-7)^2\)

Answer 10

okay so (x+8)/x
(55+8)/55
63/55

Answer 11

very good

Answer 12

so that is the final answer :D thank you so so much!!! :D

Answer 13

I couldn't figure it out but now that you explain it, it makes it so much easier! :D

Answer 14

and Jhannybean has a point, say (-7)^2+6 because

(-7)^2 = 49 which is what you want

while -7^2 = -49 is the complete opposite of what you want

Answer 15

true. I always forget to put parenthesis lol but I normally think to not put the - if it is supposed to be in parenthesis if you know what I mean lol :D

Answer 16
