Answer: first option.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the common difference d of the arithmetic sequence:
Then the formula for the 101st term is the shown below:
Where:
Substitute values into the formula. Therefore, you obtain:
<h3>Answer is -9</h3>
=================================
Work Shown:
(g°h)(x) is the same as g(h(x))
So, (g°h)(0) = g(h(0))
Effectively h(x) is the input to g(x). Let's first find h(0)
h(x) = x^2+3
h(0) = 0^2+3
h(0) = 3
So g(h(x)) becomes g(h(0)) after we replace x with 0, then it updates to g(3) when we replace h(0) with 3.
Now let's find g(3)
g(x) = -3x
g(3) = -3*3
g(3) = -9
-------
alternatively, you can plug h(x) algebraically into the g(x) function
g(x) = -3x
g( h(x) ) = -3*( h(x) ) ... replace all x terms with h(x)
g( h(x) ) = -3*(x^2 + 3) ... replace h(x) on right side with x^2+3
g( h(x) ) = -3x^2 - 9
Next we can plug in x = 0
g( h(0) ) = -3(0)^2 - 9
g( h(0) ) = -9
we get the same result.
The answer is 4/12
That easy
