Answer

A

Step-by-step solution

4 steps

To find the value of f(4)f(4), we will use the given functions g(x)g(x) and (f∘g)(x)(f \circ g)(x).

  1. Understand the composite function.

    The notation (f∘g)(x)(f \circ g)(x) means f(g(x))f(g(x)).
    We are given:

    g(x)=x−2g(x) = x-2 (f∘g)(x)=x2−4(f \circ g)(x) = x^2 - 4

    So, we can write:

    f(g(x))=x2−4f(g(x)) = x^2 - 4
  2. Substitute g(x)g(x) into the composite function.

    Substitute g(x)=x−2g(x) = x-2 into the equation from Step 1:

    f(x−2)=x2−4f(x-2) = x^2 - 4
  3. Determine the value of xx for which the argument of ff is 4.

    We want to find f(4)f(4). This means the expression inside the parentheses for ff should be 4.
    Let x−2=4x-2 = 4.
    Solving for xx:

    x=4+2x = 4 + 2 x=6x = 6
  4. Substitute this value of xx into the equation for f(x−2)f(x-2).

    Substitute x=6x=6 into f(x−2)=x2−4f(x-2) = x^2 - 4:

    f(6−2)=(6)2−4f(6-2) = (6)^2 - 4 f(4)=36−4f(4) = 36 - 4 f(4)=32f(4) = 32

    The value of f(4)f(4) is 32.

    Comparing this with the given options:
    a. 32
    b. 24
    c. 12
    d. 40
    e. 38

    The correct option is a.

    The final answer is a. 32\boxed{\text{a. 32}}.
