let g(x)=5x-2l and h(x)=x^2+1. Find the value of each expression. (h*g)(-1)

1 answer

To find (h*g)(-1), we first need to compute h(-1) and g(-1):

h(-1) = (-1)^2 + 1 = 2

g(-1) = 5(-1) - 2 = -7

Now we can evaluate (h*g)(-1) by multiplying h(-1) and g(-1) together:

(h*g)(-1) = h(-1) * g(-1) = 2 * (-7) = -14

Therefore, (h*g)(-1) = -14.
