Q. Given that f(x)=x+4,g(x)=2x and h(x)=−3f(x+2)+2g(x), then what is the value of h(2) ?Answer:
Find f(2): First, we need to find the value of f(x) when x is replaced by 2. f(x)=x+4 f(2)=2+4 f(2)=6
Find g(2): Next, we need to find the value of g(x) when x is replaced by 2. g(x)=2x g(2)=2×2 g(2)=4
Find f(x+2): Now, we need to find the value of f(x+2). Since we already know f(x), we can replace x with (x+2) in the function f(x). f(x+2)=(x+2)+4 f(2+2)=(2+2)+4 f(4)=4+4 f(4)=8
Find h(2): With the values of f(4) and g(2), we can now find h(x) when x is replaced by 2. h(x)=−3f(x+2)+2g(x) h(2)=−3f(2+2)+2g(2) h(2)=−3f(4)+2g(2) h(2)=−3×8+2×4 f(4)0 f(4)1
