ANSWER

B.
(x + 6)^(4)

Step-by-step explanation

The given functions are:

f(x)=x+6

and


g(x)= {x}^(4)

We want to find


g(f(x)) = g(x + 6)

This is the composition of functions, where one function becomes the input of the second function.

We plug in x+6 into the expression for g(x) to obtain,


g(f(x)) = (x + 6)^(4)

The correct answer is B.
