If g(x) = x + 1/x - 2 and h(x) = 4 - x, what is the value of g(h(-3))?
Solution:
Given, functions are
g(x) = (x + 1)/(x - 2)
h(x) = 4 - x
We have to find the value of g(h(-3)), which is a composite function.
g(h(x)) = g(4 - x)
= [(4 - x)+ 1]/[(4 - x) - 2]
=(5 - x)/(2 - x)
Put x = -3 in the above expression,
g(h(-3)) = 5 - (-3)/2 - (-3)
= (5 + 3)/(2 + 3)
= 8/5
= 1.6
Therefore, the value of g(h(-3)) is 1.6
If g(x) = x + 1/x - 2 and h(x) = 4 - x, what is the value of g(h(-3))?
Summary:
If g(x) = x + 1/x - 2 and h(x) = 4 - x, the value of g(h(-3)) is 1.6
