Question

For all the values of x, f(x)=x²+3 g(x)=2x-1 a) find fg(2) b) find gf(2)

Answer 1

Answer:

12 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

To evaluate f(g(2)), evaluate g(2) then use the value obtained to evaluate f(x)

g(2) = 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3, then

f(3) = 3² + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12

--------------------------------------------

(b)

To evaluate g(f(2)), evaluate f(2) the use the value obtained to evaluate g(x)

f(2) = 2² + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7, then

g(7) = 2(7) - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13
