The correct option is D. 48.
The value of the composite function g(f(-1)) is 48.
The process of integrating two or so more functions to create a single function is known as function composition. A function represents a piece of labor.
Now, according to the question, the given functions are-
f(x) = 5x² + 2 and g(x) = x² – 1
First, we must determine f(-1). Consider the f(x) expression and substitute -1 for x.
f(x) = 5x² + 2
f(-1) = 5(-1)² + 2
f(-1) = 5(1) + 2
f(-1) = 5 + 2
f(-1) = 7
We now know that f(-1) equals 7, hence g(f(-1)) is like g. (7). We'll use the g(x) equation now, substituting 7 for x.
g(x) = x² - 1
g(7) = 7² - 1
g(7) = 49 - 1
g(7) = 48
Therefore, the result for the composite function g(f(-1)) is 48.
