Given: f(x) = 2x + 5 and g(x) = x2 and h(x) = -2x h(g(f( = ?

-2(2x +5)² = -8x² -40x -50

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate from the inside out, according to the order of operations.

  h(g(f(x))) = h(g(2x +5)) = h((2x +5)²) = -2(2x +5)² = -2(4x² +20x +25)

  = -8x² -40x -50

I personally prefer the factored form, but that is not considered "simplified."

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
