If the product rule is: when multiplying numbers with the same base add the exponent, what is the the base is not the same and just the variable? or what if the exponents and variable are the same and not the base?

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

486in is correct
