Answer: g(f(-1))=-22
Step-by-step explanation:
To find g(f(-1)), you want to first want to solve f(-1). Once you solved that, you plig the answer you get into g(x). Then, you will have your final answer.
f(-1)=-(-1)²+4(-1)-9 [exponent]
f(-1)=-1+4(-1)-9 [multiply]
f(-1)=-1-4-9 [subtract from left to right]
f(-1)=-14
We have found that f(-1)=-14. Now, we know in -14 into g(x) and solve.
g(-14)=(-14)-8 [subtract]
g(-14)=-22
Now, we know that g(f(-1))=-22.
