The Solution to Question 24:
Given the function below:
[tex]\begin{gathered} g(x)=-x^2 \\ h(x)=\frac{x-2}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]
We are asked to find the value of h(g(5)).
Step 1:
We shall find g(5) by substituting 5 for x in g(x).
[tex]g(5)=-5^2=-25[/tex]
So that:
[tex]h(g(5))=h(-25)[/tex]
Similarly, we shall find h(-25) by substituting -25 for x in h(x).
[tex]h(-25)=\frac{-25-2}{5}=\frac{-27}{5}[/tex]
Therefore, the correct answer is
[tex]\frac{-27}{5}[/tex]
