PROBLEM
Find (k∘m)(x) and (m∘k)(x) for k(x)=9x−5 and m(x)=x2. Are they equal?
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are given two functions k(x)=9x−5 and m(x)=x.
. We need to find the composition of these functions, denoted as (k∘m)(x).
STEP 2
The composition of functions is defined as the application of one function to the result of another. Mathematically, it can be represented as follows(k∘m)(x)=k(m(x))
STEP 3
We know that m(x)=x2. So, we need to substitute m(x) into the function k(x).
k(m(x))=k(x2)
STEP 4
Now, substitute x2 into k(x) in place of x.
k(x2)=9(x2)−
SOLUTION
implify the expression to find the result of (k∘m)(x).
(k∘m)(x)=9x2−5So, (k∘m)(x)=9x2−5.
