Question

If f(x) = 2x+7 and g(x) = -3x+5, what is f(g(5)) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

  -13

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the order of operations, you do the parentheses first. g(5) is inside the parentheses of f(g(5)).

  g(5) = -3(5) +5 = -10

Then ...

  f(g(5)) = f(-10) = 2(-10) +7

  f(g(5)) = -13
