Q. Given the definitions of f(x) and g(x) below, find the value of g(f(8)).f(x)=2x−13g(x)=x2+4x−9Answer:
Find f(8): First, we need to find the value of f(8). Substitute 8 into the function f(x). f(8)=2(8)−13
Calculate f(8): Now, let's perform the calculation for f(8). f(8)=2(8)−13 f(8)=16−13 f(8)=3
Find g(f(8)): Next, we need to find the value of g(f(8)), which means we need to substitute f(8) into g(x).Substitute 3 into the function g(x).g(f(8))=g(3)g(3)=(3)2+4(3)−9
Calculate g(3): Finally, let's perform the calculation for g(3). g(3)=(3)2+4(3)−9 g(3)=9+12−9 g(3)=21−9 g(3)=12
