ANSWER


(g\circ f)(x)=294x^2+168x+22

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the composition:


(g\circ f)(x)

This is the same as:


g(f(x))

In other words, substitute the function f(x) for x in g(x):


\begin{gathered} (g\circ f)(x)=6(7x+2)^2-2_{} \\ (g\circ f)(x)=6(7x+2)(7x+2)-2=6(49x^2+14x+14x+4)-2 \\ (g\circ f)(x)=6(49x^2+28x+4)-2 \\ (g\circ f)(x)=294x^2+168x+24-2 \\ (g\circ f)(x)=294x^2+168x+22^{} \end{gathered}

That is the answer.
