You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If this is what you meant:
Given f%28x%29=%28-x-4%29%2F%28-x%29 and g%28x%29=-4x%5E2-5x-1 find f(2) and g(-2)
f%282%29=%28-%282%29-4%29%2F%28-%282%29%29 Substitute 2 in for x in f(x) and simplify.
f%282%29=%28-2-4%29%2F%28-2%29
f%282%29=%28-6%29%2F%28-2%29
highlight%28f%282%29=3%29
g%28-2%29=-4%28-2%29%5E2-5%28-2%29-1 Substitute -2 in for x in g(x) and simplify.
g%28-2%29=-4%284%29-5%28-2%29-1
g%28-2%29=-16%2B10-1
highlight%28g%28-2%29=-7%29
Happy Calculating!!!
