Answer:

See below

Explanation:

a. here you are to multiply the two functions together:


(3x-1)(2x^(2) )=6x^(3)-2x^(2)

b. here you are to subtract g from f:


(3x-1)-(2x^(2))=-2x^(2)+3x-1

c. here you are to compose g into f. In other words, pick up the whole g function and plug it into f wherever you see an x:


3(2x^(2) )-1=6x^(2) -1

d. here you are compose f into g. In other words, pick up the whole f function and plug it into g wherever you see an x:


2(3x-1)^2

You now have to FOIL out the (3x-1) like so:


2[(3x-1)(3x-1)]

which gives you


2(9x^(2) -6x+1)

Distribute in the 2 and you'll end up with the answer:


18x^(2) -12x+2
