Let f(x) = -3x - 4 and g(x) = 2x - 6. Find

OpenStudy (lilcntry80):

find (fog)(-7)

OpenStudy (sherribelle):

(-3x-4)(2x-6) (-3(-7)-4)(2(-7)-6) (21-4)(-14-6) (17)(-20) -340 You basically take both functions and substitute x with -7, then once you do the adding or subtracting with multiplication within the parentheses, you distribute the two numbers together.

OpenStudy (sherribelle):

Hopefully this is correct.

OpenStudy (lilcntry80):

the answer is not one of the answers on my paper

OpenStudy (sherribelle):

Another answer that I got was 71

OpenStudy (sherribelle):

Because x = -7, so you have to substitute x with -7.

OpenStudy (sherribelle):

What are your answer choices?

OpenStudy (lilcntry80):

A. x - 11 B. x + 3 C. -11x - 11 D. -11x = 3b

OpenStudy (lilcntry80):

hold on that's the wrong problem

OpenStudy (lilcntry80):

a.28 b.-20 c. 17 d. 56

OpenStudy (sherribelle):

So it's suppose to be (f*g)(-7) = -3x - 4 * 2x - 6 Correct?
