Evaluate each composite value
1. If f ( x) = 3x − 5 and g ( x) = x 2 , find ( f o g )(3)

( f o g )(3) = f (g (3))
2
g (3) = (3) = 9
f (9 ) = 3(9 ) − 5 = 27 − 5 = 22

2. If f ( x) = −9 x − 9 and g ( x) = x − 9 , find ( f o g )(10)

( f o g )(10) = f (g (10))
g (10 ) = (10 ) − 9 = 1 = 1
f (1) = −9(1) − 9 = −9 − 9 = −18

3. If f ( x) = −4 x + 2 and g ( x) = x − 8 , find ( f o g )(12)

( f o g )(12) = f (g (12))
g (12 ) = (12 ) − 8 = 4 = 2
f (2 ) = −4(2 ) + 2 = −8 + 2 = −6

4. If f ( x) = −3x + 4 and g ( x) = x 2 , find (g o f )(− 2)

(g o f )(− 2) = g ( f (− 2))
f (− 2 ) = −3(− 2 ) + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
2
g (10) = (10 ) = 100

5. If f ( x) = −2 x + 1 and g ( x) = x 2 − 5 , find (g o f )(2)

(g o f )(2) = g ( f (2))
f (2 ) = −2(2 ) + 1 = −4 + 1 = −3
2
g (−3) = (− 3) − 5 = 9 − 5 = 4=2
