Find the function definition for the first composite function, as follows:
(qr)(x)=q(r(x))
=q(x+8)
=(x+82+7)
=x+8+7
=x+15
Find the function definition for the second composite function, as follows:
(rq)(x)=r(q(x))
=r(x2+7)
=(x2+7)+8
=x+15
Find the value of the first composite function at x=1, as follows:
(qr)(1)=(1)+15=16
Find the value of the second composite function at x=1, as follows:
(rq)(1)=12+15
=16
=4
