If f (x) = -3x +4 and g (x)= x squared, find (g*f) (-2)

1 answer:

6 0

The easiest way to do this is to work out f(-2) first, =-3(-2)+4=10, then find g(-2)=(-2)²=4.
(g*f)(-2)=4×10=40.
However, if g*f means g of f the answer is different, because having worked out that f(-2)=10 we put this result into g, so we find g(10)=10²=100.
So you need to determine whether g*f means g(x)×f(x) [answer 40] or g(f(x)) [answer 100] when x=-2.

I'm really confused about this but how do you solve problems with finding the slope of a line pls I need help with a whole front

faust18 [17]

To find the slope you use the slope formula y2-y1 / x2-x1. So use two point on the line we will make ours (1,2) and (3,4). Substitute to make 4-2 / 3-1 = 1/1 so using the rise over run method. The line rises up one and runs by one. The slash mark means divide, it's easiest in a fraction.

Also if you come across the equation y=mx+b, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, this is called slope intercept formula.

How do I solve this?

patriot [66]

You already know that y equals -4. It says that x equals 3, so multiply the -4 by 3 and because it has a negative number and a positive number it will equal -12. Remember anytime you see a letter after a number it means multiply. The complete problem should be -10 because 2 is a whole number you subtract it from -12. Hope that helped you out some.
