Answer:

We conclude that:

  • (hog)(2) = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h(a) = a² - 5

g(a) = -4x

To determine

(hog)(2)

Using the formula

(hog)(2) = h(g(2))

First determining the g(2)

substitute x = 2 in g(a) = -4x

g(a) = -4x

g(2) = -4(2) = -8

so

(hog)(2) = h(g(2)) = h(-8)

now determining the h(-8)

substitute x = -8 in h(a) = a² - 5

h(a) = a² - 5

h(-8) = (-8)² - 5

h(-8) = 64 - 5

h(-8) = 59

so

(hog)(2) = h(g(2)) = h(-8) = 59

Therefore, we conclude that:

  • (hog)(2) = 59
