Transcript text: For $f(x)=4 x$ and $g(x)=x+2$, find the following functions:
a. $(f \circ g)(x)$;
b. $\left(g^{\circ} /(x)\right.$;
c. $\left(f^{\circ} \mathrm{g}\right)(2)$;
d. $\left(9^{\circ} 0\right)(2)$.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Finding the composition $(f \circ g)(x)$
First, evaluate $g(2) = 4$.
Then, substitute this into $f(x)$ to get $f(g(2)) = 16$.
After simplification, $(f \circ g)(2) = 16$.
Step 2: Finding the composition $(g \circ f)(x)$
First, evaluate $f(2) = 8$.
Then, substitute this into $g(x)$ to get $g(f(2)) = 10$.
After simplification, $(g \circ f)(2) = 10$.
Final Answer:
The composition $(f \circ g)(2)$ is approximately 16 when rounded to 2 decimal places.
The composition $(g \circ f)(2)$ is approximately 10 when rounded to 2 decimal places.
