Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
So to figure this out we just need to flip the values of x and y in the table and then redefine that as the function g(x), because an inverse is essentially the reverse!
So if we flipped x and y's for f(x). We would see that our output or y of g(x) is -3 when x = 2, or in other words g(2) = -3. This means that we are now going to solve for when f(-3). So now lets look at the table and find the value at x = -3 for f(x). This value is 2, so the value of f(g(2)) = 2.
*In the future*
When you have a composite function of two inverses they essentially cancel out and would leave whatever the value of x is. So if we know f(x) and g(x) were inverses the value of f(g(2)) would just be 2.
For example:
ln(x) and e^x are inverses so if I had a composition like this:
The answer to this would be 2 because these inverse functions "'cancel" out
So
1.5 * 8/5 = 0.3*8 = 2.4
2.5 * 8/5 = 0.5*8 = 4.0
You have to deal with this type of question step by step. Firstly, you can figure out all the unknown values (such as sqrt x-3), by substituting x for 19, as you are trying to figure out f(x) when x=19. Therefore:
x+2=21
sqrt(x-3)=sqrt(19-3)=sqrt 16=4
Now the equation is easier to handle:
3/21 - 4
We can write this as 3/21 - 4/1 , which equals -27/7.
You could solve this mathematically but i mean you could use your eyes.... Its most likely C
