Given: f(x) = 2x + 5 and g(x) = x2 and h(x) = -2X
h(g(x))) =
[X²+
X+

- 8x² - 40x - 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by evaluating the inside, that is g(f(x))

Substitute x = f(x) into g(x), that is

g(f(x))

= g(2x + 5)

= (2x + 5)² ← expand using FOIL

= 4x² + 20x + 25

Now substitute x = 4x² + 20x + 25 into h(x)

h(4x² + 20x + 25)

= - 2(4x² + 20x + 25) ← distribute parenthesis by - 2

= - 8x² - 40x - 50

Thus

h(g(f(x))) = - 8x² - 40x - 50

step-by-step explanation:

the options are kind of confusing. i can tell you what i see going on here when i look at the graph.

the class and exam medians are closely related, and it looks like the low outlier on the exam did pull the median lower. [tex][/tex]
