Let g(x) = 2x and h(x) = x2 + 4. Evaluate (h ∘ g)(−2).
A. −12
the corrects answer is B. −16
C. 20
D. 16
Answer:
Option C, 20 is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let g(x) = 2x and h(x) = x² + 4
We have to evaluate (h ο g) ( -2 )
Since ( h ο g )x = h [ g(x) ]
= ( 2x)² + 4
= 4x² + 4
( h ο g ) ( -2 ) = 4 ( -2 )² + 4
= 4 × 4 + 4
= 16 + 4
= 20
Option C, 20 will be the answer.
