If f(x) = x2 – 5 for all values x and f(a) = 4, what is one possible value of a?
Possible Answers:11
8
1
3
14
Correct answer:3
Explanation:Using the defined function, f(a) will produce the same result when substituted for x:
f(a) = a2 – 5
Setting this equal to 4, you can solve for a:
a2 – 5 = 4
a2 = 9
a = –3 or 3

If the function g is defined by g(x) = 4x + 5, then 2g(x) – 3 =
Possible Answers:6x + 7
4x + 2
8x + 2
8x + 7
6x + 2
Correct answer:8x + 7
Explanation:The function g(x) is equal to 4x + 5, and the notation 2g(x) asks us to multiply the entire function by 2. 2(4x + 5) = 8x + 10. We then subtract 3, the second part of the new equation, to get 8x + 7.

If f(x) = x2 + 5x and g(x) = 2, what is f(g(4))?
Possible Answers:4
2
14
36
39
Correct answer:14
Explanation:First you must find what g(4) is. The definition of g(x) tells you that the function is always equal to 2, regardless of what “x” is. Plugging 2 into f(x), we get 22 + 5(2) = 14.

f(a) = 1/3(a3 + 5a – 15)
Find a = 3.
Possible Answers:19
3
1
27
9
Correct answer:9
Explanation:Substitute 3 for all a.
(1/3) * (33 + 5(3) – 15)
(1/3) * (27 + 15 – 15)
(1/3) * (27) = 9

Evaluate f(g(6)) given that f(x) = x2 – 6 and g(x) = –(1/2)x – 5
Possible Answers:30
58
–8
50
–25
Correct answer:58
Explanation:Begin by solving g(6) first.
g(6) = –(1/2)(6) – 5
g(6) = –3 – 5
g(6) = –8
We substitute f(–8)
f(–8) = (–8)2 – 6
f(–8) = 64 – 6
f(–8) = 58

If f(x) = |(x2 – 175)|, what is the value of f(–10) ?
Possible Answers:275
–75
15
75
–275
Correct answer:75
Explanation:If x = –10, then (x2 – 175) = 100 – 175 = –75. But the sign |x| means the absolute value of x. Absolute values are always positive.
|–75| = 75

If f(x)= 2x² + 5x – 3, then what is f(–2)?
Possible Answers:7
–5
–21
–1
Correct answer:–5
Explanation:By plugging in –2 for x and evaluating, the answer becomes 8 – 10 – 3 = -5.

Example Question #3 : How To Find F(X)
If f(x) = x² – 2 and g(x) = 3x + 5, what is f(g(x))?
Possible Answers:
3x² – 1
9x² + 23
9x² + 30x + 25
9x² + 30x + 23
Correct answer:9x² + 30x + 23
Explanation:To find f(g(x) plug the equation for g(x) into equation f(x) in place of “x” so that you have: f(g(x)) = (3x + 5)² – 2.
Simplify: (3x + 5)(3x + 5) – 2
Use FOIL: 9x² + 30x + 25 – 2 = 9x² + 30x + 23
Report an ErrorExample Question #5 : How To Find F(X)
f(x) = 2x2 + x – 3 and g(y) = 2y – 7. What is f(g(4))?
Possible Answers:
42
33
57
0
-33
Correct answer:0
Explanation:To evaluate f(g(4)), one must first determine the value of g(4), then plug that into f(x).
g(4) = 2 x 4 – 7 = 1.
f(1) = 2 x 12 + 2 x 1 – 3 = 0.

For all positive integers, let k* be defined by k* = (k-1)(k+2) . Which of the following is equal to 3*+4*?
Possible Answers:4*
6*
7*
5*
Correct answer:5*
Explanation:We can think of k❋ as the function f(k)=(k-1)(k+2), so 3❋+4❋is f(3)+f(4). When we plug 3 into the function, we find f(3)=(3-1)(3+2)=(2)(5)=10, and when we plug 4 into the function, we find f(4)=(4-1)(4+2)=(3)(6)=18, so f(3)+f(4)=10+18=28. The only answer choice that equals 28 is 5❋ which is f(5)=(5-1)(5+2)=(4)(7)=28.
