As a composite function can be written as:


(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))

which means that the function of g(x) will be replaced in all the x in present in f(x).

Then, one of the possibilities that this could happen is if:


g(x)=6x^2-4
f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}

Because:


(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))=\sqrt[3]{6x^2-4}

Answer:


g(x)=6x^2-4
f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}
