Question Find the values of (fg)(5)(f \circ g)(-5), (gf)(15)(g \circ f)(15), (ff)(6)(f \circ f)(6), and (gg)(3)(g \circ g)(-3) using the given table of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x).

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The table provides the values of two functions, f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x), at various points xx. . The function composition (fg)(x)(f \circ g)(x) means f(g(x))f(g(x)).
3. The function composition (gf)(x)(g \circ f)(x) means g(f(x))g(f(x)).

STEP 2

To find (fg)(5)(f \circ g)(-5), we first look up the value of g(5)g(-5) from the table.
g(5)=15g(-5) =15

STEP 3

Then, we substitute g(5)g(-5) into f(x)f(x), so we look up the value of f(15)f(15) from the table.
f(15)=1f(15) =1So, (fg)(5)=1(f \circ g)(-5) =1.

STEP 4

To find (gf)(15)(g \circ f)(15), we first look up the value of f(15)f(15) from the table.
f(15)=1f(15) =1

STEP 5

Then, we substitute f(15)f(15) into g(x)g(x), so we look up the value of g(1)g(1) from the table.
g(1)=3g(1) = -3So, (gf)(15)=3(g \circ f)(15) = -3.

STEP 6

To find (ff)(6)(f \circ f)(6), we first look up the value of f(6)f(6) from the table.
f(6)=15f(6) =15

STEP 7

Then, we substitute f(6)f(6) into f(x)f(x) again, so we look up the value of f(15)f(15) from the table.
f(15)=1f(15) =1So, (ff)(6)=1(f \circ f)(6) =1.

STEP 8

To find (gg)(3)(g \circ g)(-3), we first look up the value of g(3)g(-3) from the table.
g(3)=10g(-3) =10

STEP 9

Then, we substitute g(3)g(-3) into g(x)g(x) again, so we look up the value of g()g() from the table.
g()=5g() = -5So, (gg)(3)=5(g \circ g)(-3) = -5.
The solutions are(fg)(5)=(f \circ g)(-5) =
(gf)(15)=3(g \circ f)(15) = -3
(ff)(6)=(f \circ f)(6) =
(gg)(3)=5(g \circ g)(-3) = -5
