Question

If f(x) = x³ +7x²-x and g(x)=x²-3, What is the degree of g(f(x))? a)2 b)3 c)6 d)8

Answer 1

Answer:

c) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

⇒ f(x) = x³ + 7x² - x

⇒ g(x) = x² - 3

===============================================================

Finding the degree of g(f(x)) :

⇒ Degree of f(x) = 3

⇒ Degree of g(x) = 2

⇒ Therefore, degree of g(f(x)) = degree of f(x) × degree of g(x)

⇒ Degree of g(f(x)) = 3 × 2

⇒ Degree of g(f(x)) = 6

Answer 2

• g(f(x))
• g(x³+7x²-x)
• (x³+7x²-x)²-3

Degree of g(f(x))

Use Pascal's law

• 3×2
• 6
