The functions u and w are defined as follows.Find the value of u(w(3)) .w(x) = - x ^ 2 - 1u(x) = x + 2

Given:
[tex]u(x)=x+2[/tex][tex]w(x)=-x^2-1[/tex]Aim:
[tex]We\text{ need to find u\lparen w\lparen3\rparen\rparen.}[/tex]Explanation:
[tex]w(x)=-x^2-1[/tex]Substitute x =3 in the equation w(x).
[tex]w(3)=-(3)^2-1[/tex][tex]w(3)=-9-1[/tex][tex]w(3)=-10[/tex]Substitute w(3)=-10 in the expression u(w(3)).
[tex]u(w(3))=u(-10).[/tex]Substitute x =-10 in the eqaution u(x).
[tex]u(-10)=-10+2[/tex][tex]u(-10)=-8[/tex][tex]Use\text{ }u(-10)=-8\text{ in the equation u\lparen w\lparen3\rparen\rparen=u\lparen-10\rparen.}[/tex][tex]u(w(3))=u(-10)=-8[/tex][tex]u(w(3))=-8[/tex]Final answer:
[tex]u(w(3))=-8[/tex]
