Math Problem Statement

f(x) = 4x + 3 and q(x) - 2 - 3x

find (f•g)(3)

Solution

To solve (fg)(3)(f \circ g)(3), we need to evaluate the composition of two functions f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) at x=3x = 3. However, you've provided the function f(x)=4x+3f(x) = 4x + 3 and a partial expression q(x)23xq(x) - 2 - 3x which seems like an incomplete or typo for the second function.

Let me assume you meant g(x)=23xg(x) = 2 - 3x as the second function. If this is the correct interpretation, we'll proceed as follows:

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Define the functions:

    f(x)=4x+3f(x) = 4x + 3 g(x)=23xg(x) = 2 - 3x

  2. Find g(3)g(3):

    Substitute x=3x = 3 into g(x)g(x): g(3)=23(3)g(3) = 2 - 3(3) g(3)=29g(3) = 2 - 9 g(3)=7g(3) = -7

  3. Find (fg)(3)(f \circ g)(3):

    (fg)(3)=f(g(3))(f \circ g)(3) = f(g(3)). We already know g(3)=7g(3) = -7.

    Now, substitute g(3)=7g(3) = -7 into f(x)f(x): f(g(3))=f(7)f(g(3)) = f(-7) f(7)=4(7)+3f(-7) = 4(-7) + 3 f(7)=28+3f(-7) = -28 + 3 f(7)=25f(-7) = -25

Conclusion:

(fg)(3)=25(f \circ g)(3) = -25
