Question

F(x)=x^2-7 and h(x)=7x-5, then f(h(2))= ?

Answer 1

Answer:    74

==================================================

Work Shown:

h(x) = 7x-5

h(2) = 7(2)-5

h(2) = 14-5

h(2) = 9

f(h(2)) = f(9)

f(x) = x^2-7

f(9) = 9^2-7

f(9) = 81-7

f(9) = 74

f(h(2)) = 74

-----------

Here's a slightly alternative approach:

f(x) = x^2 - 7

f(h(x)) = ( h(x) )^2 - 7

f(h(x)) = ( 7x-5 )^2 - 7

f(h(2)) = ( 7*2-5 )^2 - 7

f(h(2)) = ( 14-5 )^2 - 7

f(h(2)) = ( 9 )^2 - 7

f(h(2)) = 81 - 7

f(h(2)) = 74
