Math Problem Statement

given that f(x)=5x-1 and G(x)=x squared + 4, what is f(g(6))

Solution

To find f(g(6))f(g(6)), we need to follow these steps:

1. Find g(6)g(6):

The function g(x)=x2+4g(x) = x^2 + 4. Substitute x=6x = 6 into the equation:

g(6)=62+4=36+4=40g(6) = 6^2 + 4 = 36 + 4 = 40

2. Use this result to find f(g(6))f(g(6)), which is f(40)f(40):

The function f(x)=5x1f(x) = 5x - 1. Now substitute x=40x = 40 into the equation:

f(40)=5(40)1=2001=199f(40) = 5(40) - 1 = 200 - 1 = 199

Therefore, f(g(6))=199f(g(6)) = 199.
