Math Assignment Solutions

This document contains solutions to two math assignment questions: 1) It finds the compositions (fof)(x) and (gog)(x) where f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = -x^2 + 5, obtaining (fof)(x) = 4x + 9 and (gog)(x) = -(x^4) + 25. 2) It evaluates the limit as x approaches -3 of a function F(x) = (x+3)/(x-k), determining that for F(-3) to equal the limit, k must equal -6.

ASSIGNMENT 1

Question 1:
Find (fof)(x) and (gog)(x). Where f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = –x^2 +
5

Solution:
1. (fof)(x):

First, we substitute f(x) into f(x) itself:

f(f(x)) = f(2x + 3)

Now, substitute 2x + 3 into f(x):

f(2x + 3) = 2(2x + 3) + 3

= 4x + 6 + 3

= 4x + 9

2. (gog)(x):

Similarly, we substitute g(x) into g(x) itself:

g(g(x)) = g(-x^2 + 5)
Now, substitute -x^2 + 5 into g(x):

g(-x^2 + 5) = -(x^2)^2 + 5^2

= -(x^4) + 25

Therefore, (fof)(x) = 4x + 9 and (gog)(x) = -(x^4) + 25.

Question 2:
Let

Solution:
Let's evaluate the limit as x approaches -3 of F(x):

Notice that when x ≠ -3, we can cancel out (x + 3) from the


numerator and denominator, leaving us with:

Now, put limit x = -3 into the expression, we get

To satisfy F(-3) = limx→-3 F(x), we need F(-3) to equal the


limit, so k must also be equal to -6.
Therefore, the value of "k" that satisfies F(-3) = limx→-3 F(x)
is k = -6.
