Question

Please help..

What does it mean by
"Find the expression for g(x)"

when g(x)=x^2+2
and
f(x)=1/x-5
?

Does f(x) even matter?

Answer 1

I don't understand what find the "expression" means.

Answer 2

I'd post the actual question (screenshot) cos that sounds like this: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/6f/a2/b3/6fa2b37c7165c9cdc061b6b1f599f543.jpg


There's no way that is what the question asks

Answer 3

Perhaps the question was:
"Find the expression for \(g(f(x))\)"
Just a guess.

Answer 4

here is the actual question...

Answer 5

Lol wow. It really is that awful.

Since they already gave you g(x), lol it's not very hard to answer A.

Answer 6

Is the answer "g of x"

Answer 7

They already gave you g(x) in the question. So post that as your answer

(there was clearly a typo or mistake in this question, but it's in your favour)

Answer 8

I swear they're trolling me so hard rn
I've been stuck with this question for 3 hours..

Answer 9

thank you!

Answer 10

Why would you waste so much time on it.

They gave you g(x)=x^2 +2, and then they asked "what is g(x)?" lol

Answer 11

I thought it was a trap. It couldn't be that easy.. right... I was wrong.

Answer 12

That was part I.
Bet you part two was what is f(x).
and part III is what is f(g(x))
and part IV is what is g(f(x)).
