Answer:
106
Step-by-step explanation:
Composite function:
A composite function is represented by:
[tex](g \circ f)(x) = g(f(x))[/tex]
In this question:
[tex]f(x) = x - 8[/tex]
[tex]g(x) = x^2 + 6[/tex]
[tex](g \circ f)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x-8) = (x-8)^2 + 6[/tex]
Find ( gof)(-2).
When x = -2. So
[tex](g \circ f)(-2) = (-2-8)^2 + 6 = (-10)^2 + 6 = 100 + 6 = 106[/tex]
The answer is 106.
