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

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!

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

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

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

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.
