Q. f(x)=7x+2g(x)=x−5x2Write (g∘f)(x) as an expression in terms of x.(g∘f)(x)=
Understand (g@f)(x): First, let's understand what (g@f)(x) means. It means we need to apply the function g to the result of the function f applied to x. In other words, we need to substitute f(x) into g(x) wherever we see an x in g(x).
Write Functions: Now let's write down the functions f(x) and g(x) to see what we're working with:f(x)=7x+2g(x)=x−5x2
Substitute f(x) into g(x): We need to substitute f(x) into g(x). This means wherever we see an x in g(x), we replace it with 7x+2: (g@f)(x)=(7x+2)−5(7x+2)2
Simplify the Expression: Now let's simplify the expression:(g@f)(x)=(7x+2−5)(7x+2)2(g@f)(x)=(7x−3)(7x+2)2
Express in Terms of x: We have now expressed (g@f)(x) in terms of x. There is no further simplification needed unless we want to expand the numerator, which is not required by the question prompt.
