Q. Given that f(x)=x−4,g(x)=5x and h(x)=2f(x−3)+2g(x−2), then what is the value of h(4) ?Answer:
Identify Functions and Composition: Identify the functions and the composition.We are given three functions f(x), g(x), and h(x), where h(x) is a composition of f(x) and g(x). We need to find the value of h(4).
Calculate f(x−3): Calculate f(x−3) when x=4.f(x)=x−4, so f(x−3)=(x−3)−4=x−7.Now, substitute x with 4: f(4−3)=4−7=−3.
Calculate g(x−2): Calculate g(x−2) when x=4.g(x)=5x, so g(x−2)=5(x−2)=5x−10.Now, substitute x with 4: g(4−2)=5(4−2)=5×2=10.
Calculate h(x): Calculate h(x) using the values from Step 2 and Step 3.h(x)=2f(x−3)+2g(x−2). Substitute f(4−3) and g(4−2) into h(x): h(4)=2∗(−3)+2∗10.
Simplify to Find h(4): Simplify the expression to find h(4).h(4)=2×(−3)+2×10=−6+20=14.
