Answer:
f(g(x)) = 15x³ - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
how confusingly described.
let me try and summarize what I understood :
f(x) = 3x² - 5
money earned when baking x cookies.
g(x) = sqrt(5x³)
the amount of cookies baked in x hours.
f(g(x)) now calculates how much money she earns when baking for x hours.
it is basically very simple : instead of f(x) we have f(g(x)), so g(x) is used as argument/variable in f instead of just plain x.
therefore,
f(g(x)) = 3×(sqrt(5x³))² - 5
with x now representing the baking hours, but f(...) calculating the overall money earned, by implicitly (!) calculating the amount of cookies baked in that time and taking that result automatically to calculate the earned money.
let's simplify this a little bit more.
f(g(x)) = 3×(sqrt(5x³))² - 5 = 3×(5x³) - 5 = 15x³ - 5
you find what number goes into both number and pull that number outside and then write. 3 (_x+_). you are reversing the distributive property. Hope this helped
Just simplify the 5/20 and keep the negative
