x^2-5x+5x-25 = x^2-25
Answer:
x^2 -6x +6
Step-by-step explanation:
f (x) = x^2
g (x) = x − 3
f(g(x)) = Substitute g(x) in for x in the function f(x)
= (x-3)^2 -3
=x^2 -3x-3x+9 -3
=x^2 -6x +6
6 = -2b (cancel -2b on both sides)
6/-2 = b (divide both sides by -2)
-3 = b (simplify 6/2 to 3)
now switch sides
Answer: b = -3
