Consider the functions f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = x^2 − 10 what is the value of f[g(3)]?

options are

39
−3
−7
−1

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Tip: Remember to always start from the inside, which would be g(3), in this case.

The first step in solving this problem is to solve for g(3).

To accomplish this, you must substitute 3 for x into the given equation g(x) = x^2 - 10

The next step is to substitute the answer of g(3), -1, for x in the given equation f(x) = 2x + 1.

Because the equation is asking for f[g(3)], it becomes f(-1) because g(3) = -1.

Therefore, f[g(3)], or f(-1), equals -1

i think is g(1)=-1.

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.
