A function with zeros -3 and 2 could be:
(x + 3)(x - 2) or x² + x - 6
Keep in mind that there are an unlimited number of functions that have these zeros, such as:
2(x + 3)(x - 2) or 2x² + 2x - 12
(x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 5) or x³ + 6x² - x - 30
Generally, the function just has to include the factors (x + 3) and (x - 2) to have the zeros -3 and 2.
Given the two functions:
![\begin{gathered} R(x)=2\sqrt[]{x} \\ S(x)=\sqrt[]{x} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20R%28x%29%3D2%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bx%7D%20%5C%5C%20S%28x%29%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bx%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
We need to find (RoS)(4). THis is the functional composition. We take S(x) and put it into R(x) and then put "4" into that composed function. Shown below is the process:
![(RoS)(x)=2\sqrt[]{\sqrt[]{x}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28RoS%29%28x%29%3D2%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bx%7D%7D)
When we plug in "4", into "x", we have:
![\begin{gathered} (RoS)(x)=2\sqrt[]{\sqrt[]{x}} \\ (RoS)(4)=2\sqrt[]{\sqrt[]{4}} \\ =2\sqrt[]{2} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20%28RoS%29%28x%29%3D2%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bx%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20%28RoS%29%284%29%3D2%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B4%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D2%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B2%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
