| Question 723928:  I am just learning to do functions, domain.
 When f(x)=x+1 and g(x)=2x find:
 a) f(g(-3)=
 so I did f=x+1
 f= 2x+1
 But I lose it for f(g(-3)
 Is it f=x+1
 f= (2x+1)-3
 f= -6x+-3
 I know this is wrong because I have the correct answer, but do not understand. The correct answer is  5,
 please tell me what I m doing wrong?
 Thank You
 Marie

You can put this solution on YOUR website! When f(x)=x+1 and g(x)=2x find: a) f(g(-3)=
 ----
 Work these from the right to the left.
 ---
 g(-3) = 2*-3 = -6
 ---
 So, f(g(-3)) = f(-6) = -6+1 = -5
