We need to cancel out the negatives, so we need to simplify this.
To make things a bit easier for you, we can begin by counting out how many negatives we have. After counting, you should have a negative number count of 5. However, one of the negatives is apart of (-10x) so we'll have 4 negatives and then an extra negative in with 10x.
Remember that "-" could also be looked at as "-1."
So, if we break this down into smaller parts and substitute "-" into "-1," then this'll look like this :
-1 × -1 × -1 × -1 × (-10x) = -5
Remember that a negative times a negative is always a positive.
So, since there are four negatives, then you just multiply it all together.
f(g(x)) is a composition where g(x) is is substituted for x in f(x).
Recall, f(x) is 2/x. So we write 2/|x|-1. This places x in the denominator and 0 cannot be in the denominator x. Any value of x that makes the denominator 0 will not be in the domain.
Do you have a graphing calculator? if yes than all you have to do is hit the y= button in the top left corner and type 1/4x-4 for y1. then you need to hit graph in the top right corner. repeat this process substituting 1/4x-4 and -x+1
