Question

the function f(x) is defined by the graph below and the function g(x) is defined by the formula g(x)=-2x-5. find the value of f(g(3)). show the work that leads to your final answers.

Answer 1

A composite function combines two or more function to form a new one.

The value of f(g(3)) is $\mathbf{f(g(3)) = -16}$

The graph of f(x) is not given, so I will provide a general explanation.

The given parameter is:

$\mathbf{g(x) = -2x - 5}$

To calculate f(g(3)), we start by calculating g(3)

So, we have:

$\mathbf{g(3) = -2 \times 3 - 5}$

$\mathbf{g(3) = -6 - 5}$

$\mathbf{g(3) = -11}$

f(g(3)) becomes

$\mathbf{f(g(3)) = f(-11)}$

The next step is to check the graph of f(x) for the value of f(-11).

Using the attached graph,

$\mathbf{f(-11) = -16}$

Hence:

$\mathbf{f(g(3)) = -16}$
