\( 8a + 4b + 2c \)
Since \(f(x)\) is an even function, it satisfies \(f(-x) = f(x)\). For \(g(x)\), being an odd function, it satisfies \(g(-x) = -g(x)\). Given \(h(-2) = 0\), substituting \(-2\) into the function \(h(x)\), we have: \[ h(-2) = f(-2) + g(-2) = f(2) - g(2) = 0 \] This implies \(f(2) = g(2)\). To express \(f(2)\) and \(g(2)\) in terms of their coefficients, we use: \[ f(2) = 4a + 2b + c, \quad g(2) = 8p + 4q + 2r \] Given \(f(2) = g(2)\), it follows that: \[ 4a + 2b + c = 8p + 4q + 2r \] Therefore, \(8p + 4q + 2r\) equals \(4a + 2b + c\), matching the correct answer option.
If the real-valued function
\[ f(x) = \sin^{-1}(x^2 - 1) - 3\log_3(3^x - 2) \]is not defined for all \( x \in (-\infty, a] \cup (b, \infty) \), then what is \( 3^a + b^2 \)?
Given the function:
\[ f(x) = \frac{2x - 3}{3x - 2} \]
and if \( f_n(x) = (f \circ f \circ \ldots \circ f)(x) \) is applied \( n \) times, find \( f_{32}(x) \).
