Math Problem Statement

Use the graphs of f(x) and h(x) to evaluate the expression f(h(1)).

Solution

To evaluate f(h(1))f(h(1)), we need to follow these steps:

  1. Find h(1)h(1):

    • Using the graph of h(x)h(x) in Figure 2, locate x=1x = 1.
    • From the graph, h(1)=2h(1) = -2.
  2. Evaluate f(h(1))=f(2)f(h(1)) = f(-2):

    • Now, using the graph of f(x)f(x) in Figure 1, locate x=2x = -2.
    • From the graph, f(2)=4f(-2) = 4.

Thus, the answer is: f(h(1))=4f(h(1)) = 4

Would you like further details or have any questions?

Here are five additional questions related to this concept:

  1. How would you evaluate f(h(1))f(h(-1)) using the same graphs?
  2. What is the value of h(f(0))h(f(0)) based on these graphs?
  3. Can you describe the behavior of f(x)f(x) as xx increases?
  4. What are the domain and range of the function h(x)h(x)?
  5. How would you determine if f(x)f(x) and h(x)h(x) are even or odd functions?

Tip: When evaluating composite functions, always work from the inside out: find the inner function's output first, then use that result in the outer function.
