To solve the equation f(g(x)) = 0, we first need to understand the relationship between the two functions given:
- f(x) = 16x + 30
- g(x) = 14x + 6
First, we will find the expression for g(x):
g(x) = 14x + 6
Next, we substitute g(x) into f(x):
f(g(x)) = f(14x + 6) = 16(14x + 6) + 30
Now, we need to simplify the expression:
f(g(x)) = 16(14x + 6) + 30
= 16 * 14x + 16 * 6 + 30
= 224x + 96 + 30
= 224x + 126
The next step is to set this expression equal to 0:
224x + 126 = 0
Now, we solve for x:
224x = -126
x = -126 / 224
x = -rac{63}{112}
To simplify it further:
x = -rac{9}{16}
Thus, the value of x that makes f(g(x)) = 0 is:
x = -rac{9}{16}
