Final answer:

To find F(G(x)), substitute G(x) into the function f(x) and perform the necessary calculations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find F(G(x)), we need to substitute G(x) into the function f(x). So, we replace x in f(x) with G(x).

f(G(x)) = 3(G(x))² + 1.

Now, we substitute G(x) = 2x - 3 into the equation:

f(G(x)) = 3(2x - 3)² + 1.

Simplifying further:

f(G(x)) = 3(4x² - 12x + 9) + 1.

f(G(x)) = 12x² - 36x + 28.

Therefore, F(G(x)) = 12x² - 36x + 28.
