Problem

Evaluate each expression using the values given in the table.
\begin{tabular}{|l|rrrrrrr|}
\hline$x$ & -3 & -2 & -1 & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 \\
$f(x)$ & 8 & 7 & 6 & 5 & 4 & 3 & 2 \\
$g(x)$ & -7 & -2 & 0 & 2 & 0 & -2 & -7 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
a. $(f \circ g)(1)$
b. $(f \circ g)(2)$
d. $(g \circ f)(3)$
e. $(g \circ g)(1)$
c. $(g \circ f)(2)$
f. $(f \circ f)(3)$
a. $(f \circ g)(1)=5$
b. $(f \circ g)(2)=7$
c. $(g \circ f)(2)=$

Answer

Final Answer: \((g \circ f)(2) = \boxed{-7}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The question asks for the value of \((g \circ f)(2)\). This means we need to find the value of \(f(2)\) first, then substitute that value into \(g(x)\).

Step 2 :From the table, we can see that \(f(2) = 3\). So we need to find the value of \(g(3)\).

Step 3 :Looking at the table, we find that \(g(3) = -7\).

Step 4 :Substituting \(f(2)\) into \(g(x)\), we get \(g(3) = -7\).

Step 5 :Final Answer: \((g \circ f)(2) = \boxed{-7}\)
