.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

their all negative options. I just didn't notice there weren't there sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

replaced x with -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't it g(x)*f(x)*(-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you familiar with these?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually what i hav studied is that f(x) or g(x) can be written as f or g and f'g is f multiplied g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think there's a few ways you can actually do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is also braces for (f'g) separating it from (-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dan915 @amilapsn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those ways can change the entire ans. actually!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@nincompoop

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (amilapsn):

Here's the question is \((g\circ f)(x)\) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (amilapsn):

Here's the thing: \[(g\circ f)(x)=g\left( f(x)\right)\\ gf(x)=g(x)\times f(x) \] right?

OpenStudy (amilapsn):

that circle between g and f means g "of" f

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Still confused? It's the same as before g(f(4))

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Same sort of question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did g(f(-4)) = 3(4x+7)-5 but that's wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now I'm going through everything again

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

That's g(f(x)), you're on the right track g(x) = 3x-5 and f(x) = 4x+7 g(f(x)) = 3(4x+7)-5 for g(f(1)) we plug in 1 now where the x is. g(f(1)) = 3[4(1)+7]-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I was doing -4 but I do 1 I guess.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Oh oops it's -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

g(f(-4)) = 3[4(-4)+7]-5

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

You're doing it right then, why doubt yourself? :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The other people helping me were showing me different things so I just assumed I was wrong. I was feeling really confident about it actually. Anyways I was right and the answer is -32.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yay :)
