Q. Given the definitions of f(x) f(x) and g(x) g(x) below, find the value of g(f(2)) g(f(2)) .\newlinef(x)=3x26x9g(x)=5x8 \begin{array}{l} f(x)=3 x^{2}-6 x-9 \\ g(x)=5 x-8 \end{array} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Find f(2)f(2): First, we need to find the value of f(2)f(2) by substituting xx with 22 in the function f(x)f(x).\newlinef(2)=3(2)26(2)9f(2) = 3(2)^2 - 6(2) - 9
  2. Calculate f(2)f(2): Now, let's perform the calculations for f(2)f(2).
    f(2)=3(4)129f(2) = 3(4) - 12 - 9
    f(2)=12129f(2) = 12 - 12 - 9
    f(2)=09f(2) = 0 - 9
    f(2)=9f(2) = -9
  3. Find g(f(2))g(f(2)): Next, we need to find the value of g(f(2))g(f(2)). Since we have found that f(2)=9f(2) = -9, we will substitute xx with 9-9 in the function g(x)g(x).\newlineg(f(2))=g(9)g(f(2)) = g(-9)\newlineg(9)=5(9)8g(-9) = 5(-9) - 8
  4. Calculate g(f(2))g(f(2)): Now, let's perform the calculations for g(9)g(-9).g(9)=5(9)8g(-9) = 5(-9) - 8g(9)=458g(-9) = -45 - 8g(9)=53g(-9) = -53
