If f: R R and g: R R are defined by f(x)=2 x+3 and g(x)=x^2+7 , then the values of x such that g(x)=x^2+7 , then the values of x such that g(f(x))=8 are
Options
- A1,2
- B-1,2
- C-1,-2
- D1,-2
Correct answer
C. -1,-2
Step-by-step solution
we have, f(x)=2 x+3, g(x)=x^2+7g(f(x))=g(2 x+3)=(2 x+3)^2+7=8 4 x^2+9+12 x+7=8 4 x^2+12 x+8=0 x^2+3 x+2=0 (x+1)(x+2)=0 x=-1,-2
