Solution

The problem you provided in the image asks us to find the value of g(3)g(-3), given the following functions and composition:

  1. f(x)=2x1f(x) = 2x - 1
  2. (fg)(x)=14x+21(f \circ g)(x) = -14x + 21

To solve for g(3)g(-3), follow these steps:

Step 1: Understand the composition of functions.

The notation (fg)(x)(f \circ g)(x) means f(g(x))f(g(x)), which implies that the function g(x)g(x) is substituted into the function f(x)f(x).

We are given: f(g(x))=14x+21f(g(x)) = -14x + 21 This tells us that applying f(x)=2x1f(x) = 2x - 1 to g(x)g(x) will result in 14x+21-14x + 21.

Step 2: Set up the equation using the definition of f(x)f(x).

Since f(x)=2x1f(x) = 2x - 1, substitute g(x)g(x) into f(x)f(x): f(g(x))=2g(x)1f(g(x)) = 2g(x) - 1 Equate this to the given expression for (fg)(x)(f \circ g)(x): 2g(x)1=14x+212g(x) - 1 = -14x + 21

Step 3: Solve for g(x)g(x).

Now, solve the equation 2g(x)1=14x+212g(x) - 1 = -14x + 21 for g(x)g(x):

  1. Add 1 to both sides: 2g(x)=14x+222g(x) = -14x + 22

  2. Divide by 2: g(x)=7x+11g(x) = -7x + 11

Step 4: Find g(3)g(-3).

Substitute x=3x = -3 into the expression for g(x)g(x): g(3)=7(3)+11=21+11=32g(-3) = -7(-3) + 11 = 21 + 11 = 32

Thus, the value of g(3)g(-3) is 32\boxed{32}.
