Zorluk: KolayFunction Evaluation, Composition, and Properties

For the function h(x)=53xh(x) = 5 - 3x, what is the value of h(h(2))h(h(2))?

Cevap: 8

Cevap

8
To find h(h(2))h(h(2)), we first calculate the value of the inner function, h(2)=53(2)=56=1h(2) = 5 - 3(2) = 5 - 6 = -1. We then substitute this result back into the function to evaluate the outer function: h(1)=53(1)=5+3=8h(-1) = 5 - 3(-1) = 5 + 3 = 8. Therefore, the correct value is 8.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the inner function h(2)h(2)
h(2)=1h(2) = -1
To evaluate a nested function composition of the form h(h(x))h(h(x)), first calculate the value of the inner function at the given input.
2
Evaluate the outer function h(1)h(-1) using the result from Step 1
h(h(2))=h(1)=8h(h(2)) = h(-1) = 8
Substitute the output of the inner function, 1-1, as the new input for the outer function h(x)h(x).
