Can you help me solve this?

Answer 1

The required composite value f(g(-8) is 28

A composite function is a function inside another function. Given the following functions

f(x) = x² - 3x - 12

g(x) = -x - 12

Required composite function is f(g(-8))

First we need to get f(g(x))

f(g(x)) = f(-x-12)

f(-x-12) =  (-x-12)² - 3x - 12

Expand

f(-x-12) = x² +24x + 144 - 3x - 12

f(-x-12) = x² +21x + 132

f(g(x)) = x² +21x + 132

Substitute x = -8 into the result

f(g(-8)) = (-8)² +21(-8) + 132

f(g(-8)) = 64 - 168 + 132

f(g(-8)) = 28

Hence the required composite value f(g(-8) is 28
