Answer:
[tex]f(g(x))[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{8x - 4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
• [tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x + 8}[/tex]
• [tex]g(x) = 8x - 12[/tex]
[tex]f(g(x))[/tex] is the combination of the functions [tex]f(x)[/tex] and [tex]g(x)[/tex] such that [tex]g(x)[/tex] is the input to the function [tex]f(x)[/tex] .
This means, we have to replace the original input of [tex]f(x)[/tex], which is [tex]x[/tex], with the function [tex]g(x)[/tex].
∴ [tex]f(g(x))[/tex] = [tex]f(8x - 12)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\sqrt{8x - 12 + 8}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\sqrt{8x - 4}[/tex]
