If f(x) = 4x2 and g(x) = 5x, what is g(f(2x))?
Solution:
Given function f(x) = 4x2 and g(x) = 5x
A function, an expression, rule, or law that defines a relationship between one variable (the independent variable) and another variable (the dependent variable)
Here, we can replace x with 2x
f(2x) = 4(2x)2 = 4(4x2) = 16x2
Now, to find the composite function, g(f(2x)), we need to put value of f(2x) in place of ‘x’ in g(x)
g(f(2x)) = g(16x2) = 5(16x2) = 80x2
Therefore, g(f(2x)) = 80x2
If f(x) = 4x2 and g(x) = 5x, what is g(f(2x))?
Summary:
If f(x) = 4x2 and g(x) = 5x, then g(f(2x)) = 80x2
