If c(x) = 4x – 2 and d(x) = x2 + 5x, what is (cºo)(x)?

4x2 + 18x2 – 10x
O x² + 9x-2
16x2 + 4x - 6
O 4x2 + 20x-2

Option D:
4x^(2) +20x-2 is the value of
(c \circ d)(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the two functions
c(x)=4 x-2 and
d(x)=x^(2) +5x

To find the value of
(c \circ d)(x):

The value of
(c \circ d)(x) can be determined using the formula,


(c \circ d)(x)=c[d(x)]

First, we shall substitute
d(x)=x^(2) +5x in the above formula.

Thus, we have,


(c \circ d)(x)=c[x^2+5x]

Now, substituting
x=x^2+5x in the function
c(x)=4 x-2, we get,


(c \circ d)(x)=4(x^2+5x)-2

Simplifying the terms, we get,


(c \circ d)(x)=4x^2+20x-2

Therefore, the value of
(c \circ d)(x) is
4x^(2) +20x-2

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
