Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following expressions
f(x) = x³-2x
g(x) =-x-2
We are to find (fog)(-5)
fog = f(g(x))
f(g(x)) = f(-x-2)
Replace x with -x-2 in f(x)
f(-x-2) = (-x-2)³-2(-x-2)
f(-x-2) = (-x-2)³+2x+4
fog = (-x-2)³+2x+4
Substitute x = -5 into the result
fog(-5) = (-x-2)³+2x+4
fog(-5) = (-(-5)-2)³+2(-5)+4
fog(-5) = (5-2)³-10+4
fog(-5) = 3³-6
fog(-5) = 27-6
fog(-5) = 21
Hence the required result of the composite function is 21

-5,-8,-10,1,7
18 7/8 - 14 7/9
18 63/72 - 14 56/72
= 4 7/72
answer is B
