Suppose you are given the two functions f (x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = –x2 + 5. Composition means that you can plug g(x) into f (x).

Answer:

Degree of (fog)(x) is:

6

Explanation:

We are given
f(x)=5x^2\ and\ g(x)=2x^3

We have to find the degree of the function (fog)(x)

First of all we find (fog)(x)

(fog)(x)=f(g(x))

=
f(2x^3)

=
5(2x^3)^2

=
5* 2^2* x^6

=
20x^6

Hence, Degree of (fog)(x) is:

6

(Since degree is the highest power of x contained in the expression)
