Transcript text: Given that $f(x)=5 x+4$ and $g(x)=1-x^{2}$, calculate
(a) $(f \circ g)(3)=$ $\square$
(b) $(g \circ f)(3)=$ $\square$
(c) $(f \circ f)(3)=$ $\square$
(d) $(g \circ g)(3)=$ $\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Finding the composition $(f \circ g)(x)$
First, evaluate $g(3) = -8$.
Then, substitute this into $f(x)$ to get $f(g(3)) = -36$.
After simplification, $(f \circ g)(3) = -36$.
Step 2: Finding the composition $(g \circ f)(x)$
First, evaluate $f(3) = 19$.
Then, substitute this into $g(x)$ to get $g(f(3)) = -360$.
After simplification, $(g \circ f)(3) = -360$.
Final Answer:
The composition $(f \circ g)(3)$ is approximately -36 when rounded to 2 decimal places.
The composition $(g \circ f)(3)$ is approximately -360 when rounded to 2 decimal places.
