given f(x)=2x-6 and g(x)=9x^2-7x-4. Find (f*g)(-6).

In order to find the value of the composition of 2
functions, in our case f and g, we have to follow the
steps:


Step 1: First, we have to find out the expression of
the composition of the 2 functions:


(f*g)(x) =
f(g(x))


To find f(g(x)) we have to substitute x by g(x) in
the expression of f(x):


f(g(x)) =
2*(g(x))-6


Now, we'll substitute g(x) by it's
expression:


2*g(x)-6 = 2*(9x^2-7x-4) -
6


We'll open the
brackets:


2*(9x^2-7x-4) - 6 = 2*9x^2 - 2*7x - 2*4 -
6


f(g(x)) = 18x^2 - 14x  -
14


Step 2:


Now, we'll
calculate the value (f*g)(-6), substituting x from the expression of (f*g)(x), by
(-6).


(f*g)(-6) = 18(-6)^2 - 14(-6)  -
14


(f*g)(-6) = 648 + 84 -
14


(f*g)(-6) =
718

In Act III, scene 2, why may the establishment of Claudius's guilt be considered the crisis of the revenge plot?

The crisis of a drama usually proceeds and leads to the climax.  In Shakespeare's Hamlet , the proof that Claudius is guilty...
