QuestionComposition of functions
COPY - Let f(x)=2x1,g(x)=3xf(x)=2 x-1, g(x)=3 x, and h(x)=x2+1h(x)=x^{2}+1. Find g(f(0))g(f(0))

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given three functions: f(x)=2x1 f(x) = 2x - 1 , g(x)=3x g(x) = 3x , and h(x)=x2+1 h(x) = x^2 + 1 .
2. We need to find the value of the composition g(f(0)) g(f(0)) .

STEP 2

1. Evaluate the function f(x) f(x) at x=0 x = 0 .
2. Use the result from Step 1 as the input for the function g(x) g(x) .
3. Calculate g(f(0)) g(f(0)) .

STEP 3

Evaluate f(x) f(x) at x=0 x = 0 :
f(0)=2(0)1 f(0) = 2(0) - 1

STEP 4

Simplify the expression:
f(0)=01 f(0) = 0 - 1 f(0)=1 f(0) = -1

STEP 5

Use the result from Step 1 as the input for g(x) g(x) :
g(f(0))=g(1) g(f(0)) = g(-1)

STEP 6

Evaluate g(x) g(x) at x=1 x = -1 :
g(1)=3(1) g(-1) = 3(-1)

STEP 7

Simplify the expression:
g(1)=3 g(-1) = -3
The value of g(f(0)) g(f(0)) is:
3 \boxed{-3}
