Hello there!

When subtracting a positive number from a negative, you're doing the same as adding two positive numbers, but flipping the value.

For example;

-2 - 2 = -4
2 + 2 = 4

If this doesn't help you, please message me or comment below and I will do my best to explain to you how it works. Thanks!

F(n)=4n <br> g(n)=n2+2n <br> find f(g(-6))
ELEN [110]

Answer:

When f(n) = 4n and g(n) = n² + 2n, f(g(-6)) = 96.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(g(-6)), first find g(-6).

g(n) = n² + 2n

Substitute value.

g(-6) = (-6)² + 2(-6)

Square -6. Remember that (-x)² = x²

g(-6) = 36 + 2(-6)

Multiply 2 and -6.

g(-6) = 36 - 12

Subtract 12 from 36.

g(-6) = 24.

Now knowing this, substitute that value into f(n).

f(g(-6)) = f(24)

f(n) = 4n

Substitute value.

f(24) = 4(24)

Multiply 4 and 24.

f(24) = 96.
