Find ({eq}f \circ g )(-3){/eq} when f(x) = -3x + 4 and {eq}g(x) = 9x^2 + 6x - 2 {/eq}.
Question:
Find ({eq}f \circ g )(-3){/eq} when f(x) = -3x + 4 and {eq}g(x) = 9x^2 + 6x - 2 {/eq}.
Composite Function:
A composite function is one formed by substituting a function in the independent variable of the other. We solve it, performing the corresponding arithmetic operations and simplify, obtaining the result of the composite function.
We can evaluate a composite function with numerical values, substituting the value of the image, we solve the corresponding operations, obtaining its result, which we can express as an ordered para.
