Please help with this question! I am a bit confused

8x^9

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x^3)^3 =

First, to raise a product to an exponent, raise eve3ry factor to the exponent.

Second, to raise a power to a power, multiply powers.

= 2^3 * (x^3)^3

= 8 * x^9

= 8x^9

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
