Final answer:

To find f(g(x)), substitute g(x) into f(x) and simplify.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the composite function f(g(x)), we substitute the expression for g(x) into f(x) and simplify.

f(x) = 5x + 15

g(x) = 2x² + 4x - 3

Substituting g(x) into f(x):

f(g(x)) = 5(2x² + 4x - 3) + 15

f(g(x)) = 10x² + 20x - 15 + 15

f(g(x)) = 10x² + 20x

Therefore, f(g(x)) = 10x² + 20x in standard form.
