Q. f(x)=13−xh(x)=x2−6x−18Write (f∘h)(x) as an expression in terms of x.(f∘h)(x)=
Substitute h(x) into f(x): To find the composition of the functions (f∘h)(x), we need to substitute the function h(x) into the function f(x). This means we will replace every instance of x in f(x) with the expression for h(x).
Write down the functions: First, let's write down the functions again for clarity:f(x)=13−xh(x)=x2−6x−18Now, we will substitute h(x) into f(x):(f@h)(x)=f(h(x))=13−(x2−6x−18)
Distribute the negative sign: Next, we simplify the expression by distributing the negative sign inside the parentheses: (f@h)(x)=13−x2+6x+18
Combine like terms: Finally, we combine like terms to get the simplified expression for (f@h)(x):(f@h)(x)=31−x2+6x
