Question

What is the mistake in Susan's work?

 

Given:
f(a)
=
2
g(a): 3ª
4(a + 8)
Susan tried to evaluate (fog)(-15), but she made a mistake. Here is her
work.
Step 1
Step 2
g(-15) (-15)
f(-15)
Step 3 (fog)(-15)
Choose 1 answer:
= -10
=
-4(-15+8)
= 28
= 28.-10
= -280
What is the mistake in Susan's work?
f(-15) 68, not 28.
=
(fog)(-15)= f(g(-15)), not f(-15) · g(-15).
(fog)(-15) = g(f(-15)), not f(-15). g(-15).
