Question

f(x) = x + 8 and g(x) = x2 - 6x - 7. Find f(g(2))

Answer 1

Hello @Brandley17 and Welcome to OpenStudy! :)

to solve for f(g(2))
first plug in 2 for x into x^2 - 6x - 7

so (2)^2 - 6(2) - 7 = ?

Answer 2

then you need to plug your answer from g(2) into the x's in the f(x) equation

Answer 3

once you get the ? above, you would plug that number in for x
into x + 8
then simplify and that would be your answer :)

Answer 4

still cant get it

Answer 5

but thank you
