If f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = 3x − 4, what is (fg)(−1)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 7

The governing convention is that (fg)(x) denotes the product of functions, so (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x), not the composition f(g(x)). Evaluate each function at x=-1: f(-1)=2(-1)+1=-2+1=-1, and g(-1)=3(-1)-4=-3-4=-7. Therefore (fg)(-1)=(-1)(-7)=7, making option A correct. The positive sign follows from the rule that the product of two negative numbers is positive. Option B is only g(-1), not the product. Options C and D do not result from correct substitution into both functions. It is also useful to distinguish this notation from (f∘g)(-1), which would require first finding g(-1) and then applying f; that is a different operation and is not what the question asks.
