Question

the functions s and t are defined as follows. s(x) = -5x - 5, t(x) = 4x + 1. find the value of s(t(2)). s(t(2)) =

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate t(2)

Substitute $x=2$ into $t(x)$:
$t(2)=4(2)+1=8+1=9$

Step2: Calculate s(t(2))

Substitute $t(2)=9$ into $s(x)$:
$s(9)=-5(9)-5=-45-5$

Answer:

$-50$
