PLS HELP!!! Let f(x) = -2x - 7 and g(x) = -4x + 6. Find f*g(-5)
@Vocaloid
if that's a multiplication sign between f and g, just multiply f(x) and g(x) together then plug in x = 5 into the result
yes that is a multiplication sign so, -2(5)-7=-17 -4(5)+6=-14
oh, well yeah you can plug in x = 5 first after that you just multiply the results (-17) * (-14)
238
good so 238 = your solution
–6 –59 26 3
^^those are the options @Vocaloid
oh duh it says x = -5 not x = 5 :S i misread
so you'd plug in -2(-5)-7= -4(-5)+6= and multiply the results
26*3=78
huh. that's not a choice either. hold on... :S
I believe it's asking for the function composition not the product so f composed with g, take g(x) and plug it into f(x) to get f(x) = -2x - 7 ---> f(g(x)) = -2(-4x + 6) -7 then plug in x = -5
-2(-4(-5)+6)-7=-59
