Answer:

f ∘ g(5) = 47

Explanation:

We are given the following functions:


f(x) = 3x + 2, g(x) = 2x + 5

Composite function:

The problem asks their composite function at x = 5. So


f \circ g = f(g(x)) = f(2x + 5) = 3(2x + 5) + 2 = 6x + 15 + 2 = 6x + 17


f(g(5)) = 6(5) + 17 = 30 + 17 = 47

We have that f ∘ g(5) = 47
