Given the definitions of f(x) and g(x) below, find the value of (fog)(-8).
f(x) = x2 – 3x – 12
g(x) = -x - 12

Given The Definitions Of Fx And Gx Below Find The Value Of Fog8 Fx X2 3x 12 Gx X 12 class=

Answer :

Answer:

[tex](f \circ g)(-8) = 16[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function are;

f(x) = x² - 3·x - 12, and g(x) = -x - 12

[tex](f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x))[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex](f \circ g)(-8) = f(g(-8))[/tex]

g(-8) = -(-8) - 12 = 8 - 12 = -4

∴ f(g(-8)) = f(-4) = (-4)² - 3×(-4) - 12 = 16

Therefore;

[tex](f \circ g)(-8) = f(g(-8)) = 16[/tex]
