If f(x)= 3x+2 and g(x)= 4x, then

f(x)+g(x) = 3x+2+4x

= 7x+2

For f(g(x)), you work from the inside and work your way out. Another way of thinking is to go from right to left. (Inside/out and right/left are the same simply using different wording).

So what is g(x)? 4x.

Now, you take 4x and plug it into the f(x).

** Math--> English translation:

Look at the f(x) equation. Wherever you see an x in the f(x), replace the x with 4x [because 4x is the g(x)]. Basically, plug the g(x) into f(x).

So:

f(g(x)) becomes

f(4x) becomes

3 (4x)+2 = 12x+2

** Disclaimer: Notation may be inaccurate.

That's your answer. (Usually you leave it as so, but if your instructor wants it factored, then proceed).

As for the third part, I am unsure of a clear answer, so I am unable to provide an answer at the time.

Hope that helped.
