Short Answer

Evaluate each expression using the graphs of y = f(x) and y = g(x) shown in the figure.

(a) (g o f)(-8)

(b) (fog)(-8)

(c) (g o g)(7)

(d) (g o f)(-5)

(a) -4

(b) 1

(c) -6

(d) -6

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Given Information 

Graph of two functions are given

Part(a) : Step (1) : composition of functions

(g o f)(-8)g(f(-8) )from the graph f(-8)f(-8)=2g(f(-8) )=f(2)=-4g(f(-8) )=-4

Part (b): Step 1: composition of function 

(f o g)(-8)f(g(-8))from the graph g(-8)=-2f(g(-8))=f(-2)=1(f o g)(-8)=1

Part(c) : Step 1 : composition of functions

(gog)(7)g(g(7))= g(0)=-6(gog)(7)=-6

Part(d): Step 1: composition of functions

(g o f)(-5)g(f(-5))the value of f(-5) is 4g(f(-5))=g(4) =-6(g o f)(-5)=-6
