Answer

a) $-4x-28$ b) $-4x+7$ c) $x+14$

Work Step by Step

We are given the functions: $f(x)=-4x$ $g(x)=x+7$ a) Find $f\circ g$: $(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))=f(x+7)=-4(x+7)=-4x-28$ b) Find $g\circ f$: $(g\circ f)(x)=g(f(x))=g(-4x)=(-4x)+7=-4x+7$ c) Find $g\circ g$: $(g\circ g)(x)=g(g(x))=g(x+7)=(x+7)+7=x+14$
