Composite functions are multiple functions combined to form another function.
The value of the composite function (p - q)(2) is 5
To find (p - q)(2), we make use of the following composite function formula:
[tex](p - q)(x) = p(x) - q(x)[/tex]
Substitute 2 for x in the above formula
[tex](p - q)(2) = p(2) - q(2)[/tex]
From the table entries, we have:
[tex]p(2) =3[/tex]
[tex]q(2) = -2[/tex]
So, the equation becomes
[tex](p - q)(2) = 3 -- 2[/tex]
Rewrite the above equation as:
[tex](p - q)(2) = 3 + 2[/tex]
Take the sum of 3 and 2
[tex](p - q)(2) = 5[/tex]
Hence, the value of (p - q)(2) is 5
