Part (a)
Locate x = -1 on the x axis. Draw a vertical line through this x value until you reach the f(x) curve. Then move horizontally until you reach the y axis. You should arrive at y = 4. Check out the diagram below to see what I mean.
Since f(-1) = 4, this means we can then say
g( f(-1) ) = g( 4 ) = 4
To evaluate g(4), we'll follow the same idea as what we did with f(x). However, we'll start at x = 4 and draw a vertical line until we reach the g(x) curve this time.

==========================================================
Part (b)
We use the same idea as part (a)
f(-2) = 5
g( f(-2) ) = g(5) = 6
<h3>
Answer: 6</h3>
==========================================================
Part (c)
Same idea as the last two parts. We start on the inside and work toward the outside. Keep in mind that g(x) is now the inner function for this part and for part (d) as well.
g(1) = -2
f( g(1) ) = f(-2) = 5
<h3>
Answer: 5</h3>
==========================================================
Part (d)
Same idea as part (c)
g(2) = 0
f( g(2) ) = f( 0 ) = 3

Answer: 3</h3>
Answer:
Cost of shoes = $37.4925
Cost of jacket = $92.4533
Tax = $9.81
Total paid = $144.2458
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal price of shoes = $49.99
Discount = 25%
Discounted price:

Normal price of jacket = $137.99
Discount = 33%
Discounted price:

Price of pack of cookies = $4.49
No discount on cookies as per question statement.
Total amount without tax = $37.4925 + $92.4533 + $4.49 = $134.4358
Sales Tax = 7.3% of total amount without tax = 7.3%
$134.4358 = $9.81
Total paid = $134.4358 + $9.81 = <em>$144.2458</em>
Adam is correct because when the hundreds and tens digit changes in 708, that means that the 7 and 0 will change into 6 and 9
0.0239 x 28 = .6692 (this is the amount of tax paid)
shoes + tax = total
$28 + 0.6692 = $28.6692 which rounds to $28.67 (money is always rounded to the hundredths place)
