Answer

So, (gf)(7)=234.

Steps

Step 1 :Given that f(x)=2x+3 and g(x)=x23x4, we need to find (gf)(7).

Step 2 :This means we first apply the function f(x) to our input, and then apply the function g(x) to the result.

Step 3 :First, find f(7). Substituting x=7 into f(x), we get f(7)=27+3=17.

Step 4 :Next, substitute this result into g(x) to find (gf)(7). So, g(f(7))=g(17)=1723174=234.

Step 5 :So, (gf)(7)=234.
