Answer:
-22
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = -x2 + 4x - 9
g(x) = x - 8,
g(f(-1))
First find f(-1)
f(-1) = - (-1)^2 + 4(-1) - 9 = -1 -4-9 = -14
The find g(-14)
g(-14) = -14-8 = -22
Assuming the top of the hill is 0.
Squirrel begins at 0 = 0
Squirrel runs down 23 feet = 0 - 23 = -23
Squirrel runs up 23 feet = -23 + 23 = 0
An integer that represents the squirrel's final position is 0.
Hope this helps!! :)
