Answer:

a x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-4) = 4(2x + 1)

Distribute

2x-8 = 8x +4

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-2x-8 = 8x-2x +4

-8 = 6x+4

Subtract 4 from each side

-8-4 = 6x+4-4

-12 = 6x

Divide by 6

-12/6 = 6x/6

-2 =x

Hello,

After decrypting the question:

f(x)=2x^4-4x^3-11x^2+3x-6

f(-2)=2(-2)^4-4(-2)^3-11(-2)^2+3*(-2)-6=2*16+32-44-6-6=8

If f(x) = -x + 8 and g(x) = x^4, what is (gºf)(2)?

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{(g\circ f)(2)=1296}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(g\circ f)(x)=g\bigg(f(x)\bigg)\\\\f(x)=-x+8,\ g(x)=x^4\\\\(g\circ f)(x)=\g\bigg(f(x)\bigg)=(-x+8)^4\\\\(g\circ f)(2)\to\text{put x = 2 to the equation}\ (g\circ f)(x):\\\\(g\circ f)(2)=(-2+8)^4=(6)^4=1296$
