Q. Given the definitions of f(x) and g(x) below, find the value of (f∘g)(0).f(x)=3x−3g(x)=3x2−6x−1Answer:
Understand Notation: First, we need to understand the notation (f@g)(x). This notation means that we should first apply the function g to x, and then apply the function f to the result of g(x). So, (f@g)(x)=f(g(x)).
Find g(0): Now, let's find g(0) by substituting x=0 into the function g(x)=3x2−6x−1.g(0)=3(0)2−6(0)−1=0−0−1=−1.
Find f(g(0)): Next, we need to find f(g(0)) by substituting g(0) into the function f(x)=3x−3. Since we found that g(0)=−1, we substitute −1 for x in f(x). f(g(0))=f(−1)=3(−1)−3=−3−3=−6.
Calculate (f@g)(0): Therefore, the value of (f@g)(0) is −6.
