Answer:
(g°f)x =16 when x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
It might be easier to understand if you wrote this the other acceptable way.
g(x) = x^4
f(x) = 2x - 8
g(f(x)) means that in g(x) wherever you see and x you put f(x)
g(f(x)) = (f(x) ) ^ 4 Now put in the general value for f(x)
g(2x - 8) = (2x - 8)^4
You really don't want to expand this (although it would give you the right answer eventually).
g(2*5 - 8) = (2 * 5 - 8)^4
g(2*5 - 8) = (10 - 8)^4
g(2*5 - 8) = 2^4
