If f(x)=-3x and g(x)=7x+3 find: f(g(x))

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: f(x) = -3x f( g(x) ) = -3( g(x) ) ... replace every x with g(x) I'll let you finish up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So would it be -3(7x+3)) then should I distribute?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes and what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-21x+ -9?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which is -21x - 9

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so f( g(x) ) = -21x - 9
