Answer:
<em>f( g ( - 2 ) ) = - 14 </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = - 2x + 4
g(x) = 3x² - x - 5
f( g ( - 2 ) ) = ?
g( - 2 ) = 3( - 2 )² - ( - 2 ) - 5 = 12 + 2 - 5 = 9
f(9) = - 2 × 9 + 4 = - 14
<em>f( g ( - 2 ) ) = - 14</em>
Given the functions
(a) f(x) = x³ + 5x² + x
(b) f(x) = x² + x
(c) f(x) = -x
Function (a)
f(-x) = (-x)³ + 5(-x)² + (-x)
= -x³ + 5x² - x
= -(x³ - 5x² + x)
The function is neither even nor odd.
Function (b)
f(-x) = (-x)² + (-x)
= -(-x² + x)
The function is neither even nor odd.
Function (c)
f(-x) = -(-x)
= x
= -f(x)
Because f(-x) = -f(x) the function is odd.
Answer: f(x) = -x is an odd function.
