If h(x) = x - 1 and j(x) = -4x, solve h[j(5)] and select the correct answer below.
-21, -20, -19, -16

Solution:

Given h(x) = x - 1 and j(x) = -4x

Composite function takes two functions f and g and produces a function h such that h(x) = g(f(x)).

j[5] = j(x) when x = 5 = -4(5) = -20

For h[j[x]] we denote as (h○j)(x)

(h○j)(x) = j[x] - 1

(h○j)(5) = {-4(5)} - 1

(h○j)(5) = -20 - 1

(h○j(5) = -21

We get h[j[5]] value as -21

If h(x) = x - 1 and j(x) = -4x, solve h[j(5)] and select the correct answer below.

Summary:

If h(x) = x - 1 and j(x) = -4x, then the value of h[j(5)] is -21.
