Math Problem Statement

Use the table of values of g and h to evaluate the expressions below, if possible. If it is not possible, explain why. For the first two, part a) and part b), show the intermediate step, not just the answer.

Solution

Thank you for providing the image. I'll help solve the problem step by step. Let's analyze each part based on the table of values for g(x)g(x) and h(x)h(x).

Table of values:

\hline x & g(x) & h(x) \\ \hline -4 & 0 & -2 \\ -3 & -4 & 8 \\ -2 & 1 & 0 \\ -1 & -1 & 2 \\ 0 & -2 & 1 \\ 1 & 7 & -3 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ ### Part (a): $$h(g(-1))$$ 1. Find $$g(-1)$$: From the table, $$g(-1) = -1$$. 2. Substitute $$g(-1)$$ into $$h(x)$$: Find $$h(-1)$$ from the table. $$h(-1) = 2$$. **Answer for (a):
