Math Problem Statement

Use the table of values to evaluate the following expressions: f(g(9)), g(f(7)), f(f(2)), g(g(6))

Solution

Let's solve the given expressions using the table of values provided in the image.

Table Recap:

  • f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) are functions, and the values of these functions for various inputs xx are given in the table.
    • For example:
      • f(0)=2f(0) = 2, g(0)=7g(0) = 7
      • f(1)=5f(1) = 5, g(1)=9g(1) = 9
      • f(2)=4f(2) = 4, g(2)=0g(2) = 0, etc.

1. f(g(9))f(g(9))

  • First, find g(9)g(9) from the table:
    • g(9)=8g(9) = 8
  • Now, find f(8)f(8):
    • f(8)=6f(8) = 6
  • Therefore, f(g(9))=6f(g(9)) = 6.

2. g(f(7))g(f(7))

  • First, find f(7)f(7) from the table:
    • f(7)=1f(7) = 1
  • Now, find g(1)g(1):
    • g(1)=9g(1) = 9
  • Therefore, g(f(7))=9g(f(7)) = 9.

3. f(f(2))f(f(2))

  • First, find f(2)f(2) from the table:
    • f(2)=4f(2) = 4
  • Now, find f(4)f(4):
    • f(4)=9f(4) = 9
  • Therefore, f(f(2))=9f(f(2)) = 9.

4. g(g(6))g(g(6))

  • First, find g(6)g(6) from the table:
    • g(6)=4g(6) = 4
  • Now, find g(4)g(4):
    • g(4)=2g(4) = 2
  • Therefore, g(g(6))=2g(g(6)) = 2.

Final Answers:

  1. f(g(9))=6f(g(9)) = 6
  2. g(f(7))=9g(f(7)) = 9
  3. f(f(2))=9f(f(2)) = 9
  4. g(g(6))=2g(g(6)) = 2
