Given f(x) and g(x), please find (fog)(X) and (gof)(x) f(x) = 2x g(x) = x+3

To calculate the compositions of the functions, we'll
apply the rule:


(fog)(x) = f(g(x)) (f of g of
x)


It is obvious that we'll substitute x by the expression
of g(x) and we'll get:


f(g(x)) = f(x+3) =
2*(x+3)


We'll remove the brackets and we'll
have:


(fog)(x) = 2x +
6


Now, we'll
calculate  (gof)(x).


 (gof)(x) = g(f(x)) (g of f of
x)


It is obvious that we'll substitute x by the expression
of f(x) and we'll get:


g(f(x)) = g(2x) = 2x +
3


(gof)(x) = 2x +
3

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
