Q. Given the definitions of f(x) f(x) and g(x) g(x) below, find the value of (gf)(4) (g \circ f)(4) .\newlinef(x)=2x22x15g(x)=3x4 \begin{array}{l} f(x)=2 x^{2}-2 x-15 \\ g(x)=3 x-4 \end{array} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Find f(4)f(4): First, we need to find the value of f(4)f(4) by substituting xx with 44 in the function f(x)f(x).\newlinef(4)=2(4)22(4)15f(4) = 2(4)^2 - 2(4) - 15
  2. Calculate f(4)f(4): Now, let's perform the calculations for f(4)f(4).
    f(4)=2(16)815f(4) = 2(16) - 8 - 15
    f(4)=32815f(4) = 32 - 8 - 15
    f(4)=2415f(4) = 24 - 15
    f(4)=9f(4) = 9
  3. Find g(f(4))g(f(4)): Next, we need to find the value of g(f(4))g(f(4)) by substituting f(4)f(4) into g(x)g(x). Since we found f(4)=9f(4) = 9, we will substitute xx with 99 in the function g(x)g(x). g(9)=3(9)4g(9) = 3(9) - 4
  4. Calculate g(9)g(9): Now, let's perform the calculations for g(9)g(9).
    g(9)=3(9)4g(9) = 3(9) - 4
    g(9)=274g(9) = 27 - 4
    g(9)=23g(9) = 23
  5. Final Answer: We have found the value of g(f(4))g(f(4)), which is g(9)=23g(9) = 23.\newlineThis is the final answer.
