Answer:

g(f(x)) = 1x² + 1

Explanation:

We are given:
f(x) = x² - 1

g(x) = x + 2

And we want to find g(f(x)).

To do this, we substitute f(x) as x in x+2 (the expression that is equal to g(x)), as g(f(x)) is saying that f(x) is the value of x in g(x).

So, this will be:

g(f(x)) = x² - 1 + 2

Simplify

g(f(x)) = x² + 1

In your system, place 1 in front of x² - this is the coefficient of x², and also 1 after that - this is a constant.
