Math Problem Statement
Given the definitions of f, of, xf(x) and g, of, xg(x) below, find the value of left parenthesis, g, circle, f, right parenthesis, left parenthesis, minus, 2, right parenthesis, .(g∘f)(−2).
Solution
To solve , we need to understand the composition of functions and . The notation means that we first apply to , and then apply to the result of .
Steps:
-
Find : Evaluate the function at .
-
Find : Once we have the result from step 1, substitute that value into the function .
Without knowing the explicit definitions of and , it's impossible to calculate the exact value. However, if you provide the definitions or expressions for and , I can continue solving the problem.
Would you like to share the definitions of and , or should I explain further?
