Solution

To evaluate each expression using the graphs of y=f(x)y = f(x) and y=g(x)y = g(x), follow these steps:

  1. Find the inner function value: For the expression f(g(4))f(g(4)), first find g(4)g(4) using the graph of y=g(x)y = g(x).
  2. Substitute the inner function value into the outer function: Once you have g(4)g(4), substitute it into the function f(x)f(x) and find f(g(4))f(g(4)) using the graph of y=f(x)y = f(x).

Let’s go through each part:

a. f(g(4))f(g(4))

  • First, find g(4)g(4) from the graph of y=g(x)y = g(x).
  • Then, use the value of g(4)g(4) to find f(g(4))f(g(4)) from the graph of y=f(x)y = f(x).

b. g(f(9))g(f(9))

  • First, find f(9)f(9) from the graph of y=f(x)y = f(x).
  • Then, use the value of f(9)f(9) to find g(f(9))g(f(9)) from the graph of y=g(x)y = g(x).

c. f(g(6))f(g(6))

  • First, find g(6)g(6) from the graph of y=g(x)y = g(x).
  • Then, use the value of g(6)g(6) to find f(g(6))f(g(6)) from the graph of y=f(x)y = f(x).

d. g(f(2))g(f(2))

  • First, find f(2)f(2) from the graph of y=f(x)y = f(x).
  • Then, use the value of f(2)f(2) to find g(f(2))g(f(2)) from the graph of y=g(x)y = g(x).

e. f(f(6))f(f(6))

  • First, find f(6)f(6) from the graph of y=f(x)y = f(x).
  • Then, use the value of f(6)f(6) to find f(f(6))f(f(6)) from the graph of y=f(x)y = f(x).

f. g(f(g(2)))g(f(g(2)))

  • First, find g(2)g(2) from the graph of y=g(x)y = g(x).
  • Then, use the value of g(2)g(2) to find f(g(2))f(g(2)) from the graph of y=f(x)y = f(x).
  • Finally, use the value of f(g(2))f(g(2)) to find g(f(g(2)))g(f(g(2))) from the graph of y=g(x)y = g(x).

If you can provide the graphs or the corresponding values, I can help you find the exact values for each expression.
