Q. g(x)=9+45xh(x)=10x−28Write (g∘h)(x) as an expression in terms of x.(g∘h)(x)=
Substitute Functions: To find the composition of functions (g∘h)(x), we need to substitute the function h(x) into the function g(x). This means we will replace every instance of x in g(x) with the expression that defines h(x).
Write Functions: First, let's write down the functions g(x) and h(x) for clarity:g(x)=9+45xh(x)=10x−28Now, we will substitute h(x) into g(x).
Distribute and Simplify: Substitute h(x) into g(x): (g@h)(x)=g(h(x))=9+(45)(h(x)) Now, replace h(x) with its expression: (g@h)(x)=9+(45)(10x−28)
Combine Terms: Next, distribute the (5/4) across the terms in the parentheses: (g@h)(x)=9+45⋅10x−45⋅28
Combine Terms: Next, distribute the (5/4) across the terms in the parentheses:(g@h)(x)=9+(5/4)⋅10x−(5/4)⋅28 Simplify the expression by multiplying the constants:(g@h)(x)=9+(50/4)x−(140/4)(g@h)(x)=9+(50/4)x−35
Combine Terms: Next, distribute the (5/4) across the terms in the parentheses:(g@h)(x)=9+(5/4)⋅10x−(5/4)⋅28 Simplify the expression by multiplying the constants:(g@h)(x)=9+(50/4)x−(140/4)(g@h)(x)=9+(50/4)x−35 Combine the constant terms:(g@h)(x)=9−35+(50/4)x(g@h)(x)=−26+(50/4)x
