Let g(x)=2x and h(x)=x^2+4. Find the value. (h o g) (1) How do you do this?

Nnesha (nnesha):

first) substitute x for 1 into g(x) function :D

Nnesha (nnesha):

(h o g) meaning find \[\huge\rm h(\color{red}{g(1)})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm g(\color{reD}{1})=2\color{ReD}{x}\] replace x with 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On the other side as well or only on the left?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf {\color{brown}{ g(x) }}=2x\qquad h(x)=x^2+4\qquad (h\circ g)(x) \iff h(\ {\color{brown}{ g(x)}}\ ) \\ \quad \\ h(\ {\color{brown}{ g(x)}}\ )={\color{brown}{ g(x)}}^2+4\implies h(\ {\color{brown}{ g(x)}}\ )={\color{brown}{ (2x)}}^2+4\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And then do I keep simplifying to get a final number?

Nnesha (nnesha):

well right side g(x) is same as y
