Zorluk: KolayFunction Evaluation, Composition, and Properties

If f(x)=3x2f(x) = 3x - 2 and g(x)=x2+1g(x) = x^2 + 1, what is the value of g(f(2))g(f(2))?

Cevap: 17

Cevap

The value of g(f(2))g(f(2)) is 17.
To evaluate the composite function g(f(2))g(f(2)), we first find the value of the inner function f(2)=3(2)2=4f(2) = 3(2) - 2 = 4. Then, we substitute this output as the input for the outer function to get g(4)=42+1=17g(4) = 4^2 + 1 = 17.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Substitute x=2x = 2 into the expression for f(x)f(x) to evaluate the inner function.
f(2)=4f(2) = 4
In the composition g(f(2))g(f(2)), the inner function f(x)f(x) must be evaluated first at the input value of 2.
2
Substitute the result from Step 1, which is 4, into the expression for g(x)g(x).
g(4)=17g(4) = 17
The output of the inner function becomes the input for the outer function, so g(f(2))=g(4)=42+1=17g(f(2)) = g(4) = 4^2 + 1 = 17.
