The given functions are
f(x) = (x - 3)/x
g(x) = x + 3
h(x) = 2x + 1
The first step is to simplify (h.f)(x). This means that we would substitute x = (x - 3)/x into h(x) = 2x + 1. It becomes
2(x - 3)/x + 1
= (2x - 6)/x + 1
= (2x - 6 + x)/x
= (3x - 6)/x
The next step is to find (g.h.f)(x) by substituting x = (3x - 6)/x into g(x) = x + 3. It becomes
(3x - 6)/x + 3
= (3x - 6 + 3x)/x
= (6x - 6)/x
Thus,
(g.h.f)(x) = (6x - 6)/x
The second option is correct
