Answer: (f o g)(-7) = 95
Step by step solution:
We have the two functions:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=2x-1 \\ g(x)=x^2-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]We need to find (f o g)(-7) or f(g(-7)), first we evaluate g(-7):
[tex](f\circ g)(-7)=f(g(-7))[/tex][tex]g(-7)=-7^2-1=49-1=48[/tex]Now we evaluate f(48):
[tex]f(48)=2\cdot48-1=96-1=95[/tex]
