Q. Given that f(x)=3x,g(x)=x+2 and h(x)=−3f(x−2)+2g(x+2), then what is the value of h(3) ?Answer:
Find f(3): First, we need to find the value of f(x) when x is replaced by 3.f(x)=3xf(3)=3(3)f(3)=9
Find g(3): Next, we need to find the value of g(x) when x is replaced by 3. g(x)=x+2 g(3)=3+2 g(3)=5
Find f(1): Now, we need to find the value of f(x−2) when x is replaced by 3. f(x−2)=3(x−2) f(3−2)=3(3−2) f(1)=3(1) f(1)=3
Find g(5): We also need to find the value of g(x+2) when x is replaced by 3. g(x+2)=(x+2)+2 g(3+2)=(3+2)+2 g(5)=5+2 g(5)=7
Calculate h(3): Now we can calculate h(x) using the values of f(x−2) and g(x+2) we found.h(x)=−3f(x−2)+2g(x+2)h(3)=−3f(1)+2g(5)h(3)=−3(3)+2(7)h(3)=−9+14h(3)=5
