Answer:
[tex]f(g( - 4)) = 196[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The functions are;
[tex]f(x) = {x}^{2} [/tex]
and
[tex]g(x) = 3x - 2[/tex]
We want to find
[tex]f(g( - 4))[/tex]
First we find g(-4) to get:
[tex]g( - 4) = 3 \times - 4 - 2[/tex]
[tex]g( - 4) = - 12- 2[/tex]
[tex]g( - 4) = - 14[/tex]
Now
[tex]f(g( - 4)) = f( - 14)[/tex]
This implies that,
[tex]f(g( - 4)) = {( - 14)}^{2} [/tex]
[tex]f(g( - 4)) = {( - 14)} \times - 14[/tex]
[tex]f(g( - 4)) = 196[/tex]
