For the function f construct and simplify the difference fx
Solution
solution
f(x)= 8x-2
g(x)= 3x^2-5x-4
(gof)(-9)
(g o f)(-9) means g[ f(-9) ], so the first order of business is to find f(-9). Go to the f(x) formula and substitute 3 for the x, giving you
f(-9)= -72-2=-74
Now, find g[ f(-9) ] = 3(-74)^2-5(-74)-4
= 16428+370-4
= 16749.
