Given the following functions:


\begin{gathered} f(x)=√(x+2) \\ g(x)=8x-6 \end{gathered}

We will find the composite function f(g(x))

So, we will substitute the function (g) into the function (f) as follows:


f\mleft(g\mleft(x\mright)\mright)=√((8x-6)+2)

Simplify the expression:


\begin{gathered} f\mleft(g\mleft(x\mright)\mright)=√(8x-4) \\ f\mleft(g\mleft(x\mright)\mright)=√(4(2x-1)) \\ f\mleft(g\mleft(x\mright)\mright)=2√(2x-1) \end{gathered}

so the answer will be option 3:


f\mleft(g\mleft(x\mright)\mright)=2√(2x-1)
