If f(x) = -x + 4 and g(x) = x^2 - 5, then g(f(3)) = ?

 

We first evaluate f(3)   =   -3 + 4    =   1

 

So.....now we have   g (1)

 

Plug 1 into g  and evaluate.....that will be your answer

For the second....evaluate

 

- (-3)^2   +  6(-3)

Q1:

 

We have to do the functions inside, and work our way out.

Calculate f(3), and using the outcome, galculate the g(x) function of that.

f(3) = -3+4 = 1

g(1) = 1^2-5

 

Q2:

 

Plug in -3 into the x values

Remember, two negatives multiplied by each other equal a positive.

 

You are very welcome!
