Okay, in this problem, we have to find f of g of x, where f of x, f of x equals x minus six over x.
00:11
And then g of x equals, where is it, x squared plus nine? x squared plus nine.
00:19
All right, and we need to find f of g of x, right? so that f of g of x, i'm going to write that instead as f of g of x.
00:29
That's how i help.
00:30
It helps me to really know what i'm doing.
00:32
So i'm going to take g of x and plug it in to f of x.
00:36
So that means i'm going to have, actually, i'm going to simplify this x, this f of x into 1 minus 6 over x.
00:45
That's going to be a lot easier, i think, to substitute x squared plus 9.
00:49
All right.
00:49
So i'm going to have 1 minus 6 over x squared plus 9.
00:52
This is going to equal 1 minus 6 over x squared plus, where is it? plus nine plus nine that kind of looks like an and right so plus nine right now i just need to find that for negative two so this is f of g of x so i'm going to plug in f of g of two right and now negative two excuse me i've read misread that negative two that just means i'm going to plug in negative two for x right here and i'm going to get equal to one minus six over negative two parentheses squared plus nine.
01:29
All right.
01:30
Now we have that two squared is going to be, or negative two squared, it's going to be four, four plus nine is 13.
01:35
So this is equal to one minus six over 13.
01:41
And six over 13.
01:42
So that's going to be 13th minus.
01:44
So what is 13 minus six? that's going to be seven...
