Math Problem Statement

What is f(g(2)) and g(h(-3)) based on the graphs of f(x), g(x), and h(x)?

Solution

Let's analyze the three functions f(x)f(x), g(x)g(x), and h(x)h(x) based on their graphs. Afterward, we'll solve the two given expressions f(g(2))f(g(2)) and g(h(3))g(h(-3)).

1. Solving f(g(2))f(g(2)):

  • First, we need to determine g(2)g(2) from the graph of g(x)g(x). From the graph, g(2)=1g(2) = 1.
  • Now, substitute g(2)=1g(2) = 1 into f(x)f(x). From the graph of f(x)f(x), we see that f(1)=1f(1) = 1.

Thus, f(g(2))=1f(g(2)) = 1.

2. Solving g(h(3))g(h(-3)):

  • First, we find h(3)h(-3) from the graph of h(x)h(x). From the graph, h(3)1h(-3) \approx -1.
  • Next, substitute h(3)=1h(-3) = -1 into g(x)g(x). From the graph of g(x)g(x), we see that g(1)=0g(-1) = 0.

Thus, g(h(3))=0g(h(-3)) = 0.

Answers:

  • f(g(2))=1f(g(2)) = 1
  • g(h(3))=0g(h(-3)) = 0

Would you like more details, or do you have any questions about this? Here are some related questions to expand on this topic:

  1. How do you find the value of a composite function from its graph?
  2. Can we generalize the process of finding composite functions without graphs?
  3. How do we determine the domain and range of a composite function?
  4. What happens to the composite function if one of the functions is not defined at a specific point?
  5. How does the order of function composition affect the result?

Tip: When working with composite functions, always resolve the innermost function first before proceeding to the outer function.
