You have the following functions:

f(x)=2x+4

g(x)=3x²-1

In order to calculate the operation function composed f ° g, that is f(g(x)), you take into account that the function g(x) is the domain of f(x). This means that you replace g(x) where x is in the function f. You proceed as follow:

f(x)°g(x) = f(g(x)) = 2(3x²-1) + 4 use distribution property

= 2(3x²)-2(1)+4

= 6x² - 2 + 4

= 6x² + 2

Hence, the composed function f(g(x)) is equal to 6x² + 2
