Question

Let (𝑥) = 𝑥 − 2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥^2
. Find 𝑔(𝑓(−3))

Answer 1

a) 25
b) 7
c) -9
d) -45

Answer 2

work from the inside out. First find f(-3) by plugging in -3 for x in f(x)

Answer 3

I'm not entirely sure where to plug it in.

Answer 4

plug it in for x
f(x) = x - 2
f(-3) = -3 - 2

Answer 5

so -5

Answer 6

yes. now plug in -5 for x in g(x)
g(x) = x^2
g(-5) = (-5)^2

Answer 7

25, so the answer is A

Answer 8

right

Answer 9

Thanks, "𝑔(𝑓(−3))" just threw me off.
