Question 519189: Let f(x) = 2x - 4 and g(x) = 0.5x+2. Find f(g(x)) Answer by bucky(2189) About Me (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! What does f(g(x)) mean? It means that you are to find f(x) when x is g(x). So all that this problem is asking you to do is to take the f(x) equation and replace any x in it with g(x). . So start with f(x) = 2x - 4 . Then replace the x in f(x) with g(x), or to be more specific, on the left side of the f(x) equation, replace the x with g(x) and then on the right side of the f(x) equation replace any x with (0.5x + 2) which is the right side of the g(x)equation. . When you do that the left side gets written as f(g(x)) and the right side in which the x gets replaced with g(x) gets written as shown: . f(g(x)) = 2(0.5x + 2) - 4 . Then simplify the right side by doing the distributed multiplication (multiply 2 times each of the terms in the parentheses) and you have: . f(g(x)) = 2*0.5x + 2*2 - 4 = x + 4 - 4 . Note that the +4 and the -4 cancel and you are left with just: . f(g(x)) = x . That's the answer you were to get. . Hopefully from this you have learned that f(g(x)) tells you to start with the right side of the f(x) equation and everywhere that you see an x you replace it with the right side of the equation for g(x) and then simplify it. .
