Math Problem Statement

Find f(-1) + 5g(-15) in simplified form based on the given table.

Solution

To solve the given problem, f(1)+5g(15)f(-1) + 5g(-15), we will refer to the provided table:

  1. Locate f(1)f(-1) and g(15)g(-15) in the table.
  2. Substitute their values into the expression.

Step 1: Find f(1)f(-1)

From the table:

  • When x=1x = -1, f(x)=15f(x) = -15.

Thus, f(1)=15f(-1) = -15.

Step 2: Find g(15)g(-15)

From the table:

  • When x=15x = -15, g(x)=11g(x) = -11.

Thus, g(15)=11g(-15) = -11.

Step 3: Substitute into the expression

Substitute f(1)=15f(-1) = -15 and g(15)=11g(-15) = -11 into f(1)+5g(15)f(-1) + 5g(-15): f(1)+5g(15)=15+5(11)f(-1) + 5g(-15) = -15 + 5(-11)

Step 4: Simplify

f(1)+5g(15)=1555=70f(-1) + 5g(-15) = -15 - 55 = -70

Final Answer:

70\boxed{-70}
