Need help with a study guide. Will give medals :) Let g(x) = 5x - 2 and h(x) = x^2 + 1. Find the value of the expression. *PICTURE ATTACHED*

(g o h)(2) = g(h(2)) what do you get when you compute h(2) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm really not sure...what do i add the 2 to?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you replace every x in h(x) with 2 and then compute

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

h(x) = x^2 + 1 h(2) = (2)^2 + 1 h(2) = ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

g(h(2)) = g(5) = ??

23

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's your final answer
