<em>Write any 4 laws, or properties, of exponents.</em>
<em />
<em> </em>
When we multiply together numbers with the same base,
we add the exponents.
When we divide numbers with the same base, we
subtract the exponents.
If we have a fraction to a power, we raise the numerator and
the denominator to that power.
And then last but not least,
If we have a number with a negative exponent, we flip it over.

(-3x + 15) + (-3x + 2)
Simplify by combining like terms.
-6x + 17
-6x + 17
Remark
First of all you have to declare the meaning of g(f(x)) After you have done that, you have to make the correct substitution.
Givens
f(x) = 4x^2 + x + 1
g(x) = x^2 - 2
Discussion
What the given condition g(f(x)) means is that you begin with g(x). Write down g(x) = x^2 - 2
Wherever you see an x on either the left or right side of the equation, you put fix)
Then wherever you see f(x) on the right you put in what f(x) is equal to.
Solution
g(x) = x^2 - 2
g(f(x)) = (f(x))^2 - 2
g(f(x)) = [4x^2 + x + 1]^2 - 2
f(x)^2 =
4x^2 + x + 1
<u>4x^2 + x + 1</u>
16x^4 + 4x^3 + 4x^2
4x^3 + x^2 + x
<u> 4x^2 + x + 1</u>
16x^4 + 8x^3 + 9x^2 + 2x + 1
Answer
g(f(x)) = 16x^4 + 8x^3 + 9x^2 + 2x + 1 - 2
g(f(x)) = 16x^4 + 8x^3 + 9x^2 + 2x - 1
