Transcript text: Question
Given $f(t)=t^{2}-t$ and $h(x)=3 x+2$, evaluate $h(f(2))$ :
Provide your answer below:
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve for \( h(f(2)) \), we first need to evaluate \( f(2) \) by substituting \( t = 2 \) into the function \( f(t) = t^2 - t \). Once we have the result of \( f(2) \), we substitute this value into the function \( h(x) = 3x + 2 \) to find \( h(f(2)) \).
Step 1: Evaluate \( f(2) \)
We start by substituting \( t = 2 \) into the function \( f(t) = t^2 - t \):
\[
f(2) = 2^2 - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2
\]
Step 2: Evaluate \( h(f(2)) \)
Next, we substitute the result from Step 1 into the function \( h(x) = 3x + 2 \):
\[
h(f(2)) = h(2) = 3(2) + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8
\]
