Find all values of x satisfying the given conditions. f(x) = 2x − 5, g(x) = x² − 3x + 8, and (ƒ o g) (x) = 7.

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Understand that the composition (ƒ o g)(x) means ƒ(g(x)), which is the function ƒ applied to the output of g(x).
Write the composition explicitly: (ƒ o g)(x) = ƒ(g(x)) = 2(g(x)) - 5.
Substitute g(x) = x² - 3x + 8 into the expression: 2(x² - 3x + 8) - 5.
Set the expression equal to 7 as given: 2(x² - 3x + 8) - 5 = 7.
Solve the resulting quadratic equation by first expanding, then simplifying, and finally using factoring or the quadratic formula to find all values of x.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Function Composition

Function composition involves applying one function to the result of another, denoted as (f o g)(x) = f(g(x)). It means you first evaluate g(x), then substitute that result into f. Understanding this process is essential to correctly set up and solve equations involving composed functions.

Quadratic Functions

A quadratic function is a polynomial of degree two, typically written as ax² + bx + c. Recognizing the form and properties of quadratics helps in evaluating g(x) and simplifying expressions. Quadratic functions often require factoring or using the quadratic formula to find roots.
