Answer:
Option A is correct
The value of (h ∘ g)(−5) is, 104
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the functions:
g(x) = 2x
[tex]h(x) = x^2 + 4[/tex]
We have to find (h ∘ g)(−5).
[tex](h o g)(-5) = h(g(-5))[/tex] ....[1]
At x = -5
g(-5) = 2(-5) = -10
then
Substitute the g(-5) in [1] we have;
[tex](h o g)(-5) = h(-10)[/tex]
⇒[tex](h o g)(-5) = (-10)^2+4 = 100+4 = 104[/tex]
⇒[tex](h o g)(-5) = 104[/tex]
therefore, the value of (h ∘ g)(−5) is, 104
