Given that f(x)=2x+3 and g(x)=x2−3x−4, find (g∘f)(7).
So, (g∘f)(7)=234.
Step 1 :Given that f(x)=2x+3 and g(x)=x2−3x−4, we need to find (g∘f)(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)=2∗7+3=17.
Step 4 :Next, substitute this result into g(x) to find (g∘f)(7). So, g(f(7))=g(17)=172−3∗17−4=234.
Step 5 :So, (g∘f)(7)=234.
