@jim_thompson5910 could you possibly go through the steps on this one?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
(f o f)(-2) is the same as saying f( f(-2) )
similar problem: (f o g)(-2) is the same as saying f( g(-2) )
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
f(-2) = _____ (fill in the blank)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f(-2)=f(f(-2) )?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what is f(-2) equal to in terms of the graph

oh okay when f(-2) x=0
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
f(-2) is the same as saying
"what is y when x = -2"
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ah i was doing it backwards, hah my bad! when x is -2 why is 2 and 4.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2 and -4**
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no, there's only one y value for x = -2

only focus on f
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
not g
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
close but no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f(-2)=2
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
better

f( f(-2) ) turns into f( 2 )
since f( -2 ) and 2 are the same
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ahh okay so for this question, g(0)=-2?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
g(0) = -2 is correct
then you take -2 and plug it back into g(x)
since g( g(0) ) = g( -2 )
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ah okay thank you!
