If f(x) = 6x³ + 5x, g(x) = 3x² +5, and h(x) = 9x² - 8, What is the degree of f(g(h(x)))?

a)2
b)3
c)7
d) 12

Sagot :

  • f(x)=6x³+5x
  • g(x)=3x²+5
  • h(x)=9x²-8

Degree of f(x)=3

Degree of g(x)=2

Degree of h(x)=2

Degree of f(g(h(x)))

  • 3(2)(2)
  • 12

Option D

Answer:

d) 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given functions:

[tex]f(x)=6x^3+5x[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=3x^2+5[/tex]

[tex]h(x)=9x^2-8[/tex]

As we are only interested in the degrees of the function, we can eliminate the coefficients of each variable and the constants:

  • [tex]f(x)=x^3+x[/tex]
  • [tex]g(x)=x^2[/tex]
  • [tex]h(x)=x^2[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\begin{aligned}g[h(x)]& =(x^2)^2\\& =x^4\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}f[g[h(x)]] & = (x^4)^3+x^4\\& = x^{12}+x^4\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the degree of f[g[h(x)]] is 12
