Explanation:
_______________________________________________________
Given:
" Let f(x) = -2x −<span> 7 and g(x) = -4x + 3. Find (f o g)(-5) " ;
_______________________________________________
First, find g(-5) . g(x) = -4x + 3.
g(-5) = -4*(-5) + 3 = 20 + 3 = 23 ;
_______________________________________________
Now find f (g(-5) to get the answer; that is f(23);
_______________________________________________
Find f(23). f(x) = -2x </span>− 7 .
f(23) = (-2*23) − 7 = -46 <span>− </span>7 = -53 ; which is "Answer choice: [A]" .

F-1:
y=x+9
y-9=x
x-9=f-1
f-1(14)=14-9=5 f-1(5)=5-9=-4 f-1(-5)=-5-9=-14 f-1(25)=25-9=16
f(14)=14+9=24 f(5)=5+9=14 f(-5)=9-5=4 f(25)=25+9=34
C = is the correct answer
