Question

If f(x) = 3x2 – 4 and g(x) = 2x – 6, what is g(f(2))

Answer 1

There's 2 ways this can be solved. plugging the 2 into g(x) and then putting what you get from that into f(x) OR Plug g(x) into f(x) then plug in 2.

Answer 2

g(x)= 2(2)-6 = 4-6= -2
f(x) = 3(-2)-4= -6-4= -10

Answer 3

Your answer would be -10

Answer 4

Distribute 2(2) is 4 you would put that after the = sign and -6 would go after that you take 4-6 and get -2. You plug that into f(x) Distribute 3(-2) and its -6 subtract that by -4 and you get your answer -10

Answer 5

The -4 and -6 kind of tags along until you're done distributing. Make sense? I explained the easy way to do this. I hope this helps.

Answer 9

the negative 10 i mean

Answer 10

first i think may be more ussefully than you calcule f(2) = ?

Answer 11

please collaborate

step by step

Answer 12

misty f(2)=?

Answer 13

f(2) = 3*4-4 = ?

Answer 14

=8

Answer 15

f(2) = 8

so now just you need calcule g(8) = ?

yes sure this is easy

Answer 16

g(8) = 2*8-6 = ?

Answer 17

=10

Answer 18

exactly so g(f(2)) = 10

Answer 19

I see. I got -10 instead but, I see what I've done wrong. Thanks for helping me fix my error

np and anytime just tag me

my pleasure

do you have questions ?
