Math Problem Statement

Solution

To solve the problem, we need to evaluate f(2g(3))f(-2 - g(3)).

First, let's find g(3)g(3): g(x)=x23g(x) = x^2 - 3 g(3)=323=93=6g(3) = 3^2 - 3 = 9 - 3 = 6

Next, we need to calculate 2g(3)-2 - g(3): 2g(3)=26=8-2 - g(3) = -2 - 6 = -8

Now, we will find f(8)f(-8): f(x)=34x+10f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x + 10 f(8)=34(8)+10=3(8)4+10=244+10=6+10=4f(-8) = \frac{3}{4}(-8) + 10 = \frac{3 \cdot (-8)}{4} + 10 = \frac{-24}{4} + 10 = -6 + 10 = 4

So, the value of f(2g(3))f(-2 - g(3)) is 44.
