PROBLEM SOLVING: Put your answer directly, then attach your solution to "assignment material" Find $(f \circ g)(x)$, $(g \circ f)(x)$, and $(f \circ g)(3)$. $f(x) = x-6$ $g(x) = (x+4)/2$ (10 points)

Step 1
So, (f 0 g)(x) = f(g(x)). Substituting g(x) = (x+4)/2 into f(x) = x-6, we get: (f 0 g)(x) = f(g(x)) = f((x+4)/2) = ((x+4)/2) - 6 = (x+4)/2 - 6 = (x+4-12)/2 = (x-8)/2. Show more…
