Question

Given the two functions, g(t)=

+2 and f(t) = t + 1, determine g(-8) + f(-8).

Answer 1

Answer: To evaluate g(-8), we substitute -8 for t in the expression for g(t):

g(-8) = 2

To evaluate f(-8), we substitute -8 for t in the expression for f(t):

f(-8) = (-8) + 1

f(-8) = -7

Therefore,

g(-8) + f(-8) = 2 + (-7) = -5

So, g(-8) + f(-8) is equal to -5.
