ALGEBRA HELP!!!!

OpenStudy (algebraisamazing):

it's not a really a question but how to solve these types of questions Let f(x) = 9x − 2 and g(x) = −x + 3. Find f(g(x)). Let f(x) = 2x + 2. Solve f−1(x) when x = 4. Let f(x) = x + 8 and g(x) = x2 − 6x − 7. Find f(g(2)). Let f(x) = x2 − 8x + 5. Find f(−1).

Do you know what an inverse is, and how to find it?

OpenStudy (algebraisamazing):

ya I know how to find an inverse

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

OK lets start with the first one. IF \(f(x) = 9x-2\) and \(g(x) = -x+3\) Then \(f(g(x)) = f(-x+3)=9(-x+3)-2\) Do you see how I just replaced the \(x\) in \(f(x) \) with \(g(x)\)?.

OpenStudy (algebraisamazing):

ya

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

Now just simplify

OpenStudy (algebraisamazing):

okay let me do it on paper

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

for the second one, just find the inverse and then plug in 4

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

ok let me know when you have it, and we can finish the rest.

OpenStudy (algebraisamazing):

-9x+25

OpenStudy (algebraisamazing):

hello?

@zzr0ck3r

OpenStudy (algebraisamazing):

please i'm dying I need help

OpenStudy (visarika23):

f(x)=9x-2 f(g(x))=9g(x)-2 g(x)=-x+3 f(g(x))=9(-x+3)-2

OpenStudy (visarika23):

f(x)=2x+2 let y=2x+2 x=(y-2)/2 put x=f-1(x) and y=x f-1(x)=(x-2)/2 f-1(4)=4-2/2=1

OpenStudy (visarika23):

in third case do the same way as in case one and put x=2

OpenStudy (visarika23):

in fourth case simply put x=-1
