Answer:

(p o q) = 54

(q o p) = 68

Explanation:

Another way to write is (p o q)(3) is p(q(3)). As you can see, you start with the inner function and 3 is an input in the q(x) function. Then, the output of this becomes the input of p(x) (the outer function), which yields a final output and the answer:


p(x) = 4x + 2\\q(x)=5x-2\\\\p(q(3))\\\\q(3)=5(3)-2=13\\p(13)=4(13)+2=54

You do the same process for (q o p)(3), which can be written as q(p(3)), where you start with p(3) and then plug in this result as the input for q(x):


p(x)=4x+2\\q(x)=5x-2\\\\q(p(3))\\\\p(3)=4(3)+2=14\\q(14)=5(14)-2=68
