Math Problem Statement

Use the graph to the right to evaluate each of the expressions: (a) (f ∘ g)(-2), (b) (f ∘ f)(2), (c) (g ∘ f)(3)

Solution

To answer the given questions (a), (b), and (c), we need to analyze the provided graph of functions f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x).

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. (a) (fg)(2)(f \circ g)(-2):

    • First, find g(2)g(-2) from the graph of g(x)g(x).
    • Then, take that result and substitute it into f(x)f(x) to find f(g(2))f(g(-2)).
  2. (b) (ff)(2)(f \circ f)(2):

    • Find f(2)f(2) from the graph of f(x)f(x).
    • Then, substitute f(2)f(2) into f(x)f(x) again to find f(f(2))f(f(2)).
  3. (c) (gf)(3)(g \circ f)(3):

    • First, find f(3)f(3) from the graph of f(x)f(x).
    • Then, substitute that value into g(x)g(x) to find g(f(3))g(f(3)).

I will need to analyze the graph carefully to give you specific numerical answers for these operations.

Let me take a moment to review the graph and determine the values. PIL import Image

Load the uploaded image to analyze the graph

img_path = "/mnt/data/1739748170766bmch3yw7.jpg" img = Image.open(img_path)

Display the image

img.show()I have displayed the image with the graph. However, to calculate the specific values for the functions f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x), I would need you to describe the graph or share the values for the function at the points of interest.

Let me know how you'd like to proceed!
