Function help please

OpenStudy (algebranerd):

Let f(x) = 9x − 2 and g(x) = −x + 3. Find f(g(x)).

OpenStudy (owlstudies):

F(g(x)) means that you have to plug in the equation g(x) into f(x). its like f(4)= 9(4)-2. However, instead of just a number, you're plugging in an entire equation. Therefore, it would be f(g(x))= 9 (-x+3) -2

OpenStudy (owlstudies):

After that, you would just simplify, and then get your answer :)

OpenStudy (algebranerd):

continue please I'm kinda confused at this lesson

OpenStudy (algebranerd):

oh

OpenStudy (owlstudies):

do you understand or still need help?

OpenStudy (algebranerd):

let me try to simplift then

OpenStudy (algebranerd):

would the answer be -9x+25?

OpenStudy (owlstudies):

yep you got it

OpenStudy (algebranerd):

hold on I have one more question Let f(x) = 7x − 13. Find f−1(x). what does it mean to find f^-1x?

OpenStudy (owlstudies):

f^-1x is saying find the inverse of the equation

OpenStudy (algebranerd):

Is there anything else I need to know? The notes just confused me more

OpenStudy (owlstudies):

well you have to find the inverse of the equation if its asking you to find f^-1x. do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (algebranerd):

yup I already got my answer x+13/7

OpenStudy (owlstudies):

alright then you're good to go

OpenStudy (algebranerd):

there's also another kind of question on my quiz Let f(x) = 2x + 2. Solve f−1(x) when x = 4. Do I just find the inverse and substitute x with 4?

OpenStudy (owlstudies):

im not 100% sure about that one, but that's most likely what you do

OpenStudy (algebranerd):

alright thanks
