1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to evaluate composite functions using a table of values for functions f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x). We need to find f(g(2))f(g(2)), g(f(7))g(f(7)), f(f(8))f(f(8)), and g(g(5))g(g(5)).

2. Solution Steps

a) Evaluate f(g(2))f(g(2)):
From the table, we find g(2)=1g(2) = 1.
Then, we need to evaluate f(1)f(1). From the table, f(1)=1f(1) = 1.
Therefore, f(g(2))=f(1)=1f(g(2)) = f(1) = 1.
b) Evaluate g(f(7))g(f(7)):
From the table, we find f(7)=8f(7) = 8.
Then, we need to evaluate g(8)g(8). From the table, g(8)=7g(8) = 7.
Therefore, g(f(7))=g(8)=7g(f(7)) = g(8) = 7.
c) Evaluate f(f(8))f(f(8)):
From the table, we find f(8)=0f(8) = 0.
Then, we need to evaluate f(0)f(0). From the table, f(0)=9f(0) = 9.
Therefore, f(f(8))=f(0)=9f(f(8)) = f(0) = 9.
d) Evaluate g(g(5))g(g(5)):
From the table, we find g(5)=5g(5) = 5.
Then, we need to evaluate g(5)g(5). From the table, g(5)=5g(5) = 5.
Therefore, g(g(5))=g(5)=5g(g(5)) = g(5) = 5.

3. Final Answer

f(g(2))=1f(g(2)) = 1
g(f(7))=7g(f(7)) = 7
f(f(8))=9f(f(8)) = 9
g(g(5))=5g(g(5)) = 5
