Let f(x) = 2x − 5and g(x) = 5x − 2. what is (g ∘ f)(−6)? Precalculus Functions Defined and Notation Function Composition 1 Answer Sahar Mulla ❤ Apr 4, 2018 It is given that #f(x) = 2x − 5# and #g(x) = 5x − 2# we know #(g ∘ f)(x) = g(f(x))# Here, #(g ∘ f)(x) = g(2x − 5)# #=> 5(2x − 5) − 2# #color(white)(wwwwwwwww# #["as " color(red)(g(f(x)) = 5(f(x)) − 2)]# #=> 10x − 27# #color(white)(wwddddwwwwwww# #["replace " color(red)(x=-6)]# #=> -60 − 27 = -87# Answer link Related questions What is function composition?
