Given the functions:
f(x) = log
x^2.
g(x) = x+ 5.
We need to find
f(g(5)).
First, we need to determine f(g(x)), then substitute with
x= 5
f(g(x)) = f( x+ 5)
Now we will
substitute with x+ 5 in f(x):
==> f(g(x)) = log ( x+ 5)
^2
From logarithm properties we know
that:
log a^b = b*log a
==>
f(g(x)) = 2 * log (x+ 5)
==> f(g(x)) = 2*log(x+
5)
Now that we found f(g(x)) we will substitute with x=
5.
==> f(g(5)) = 2*log
(5+5)
= 2*log
10
But log 10 = 1
==> f(g(x)) =
2*1 = 2
==> f(g(5)) =
2
