Answer:
a) 18
b) 10
c) x^2 - 4x + 5
d) 4x^2 + 2
Explanation:
f(x) = 4x - 2
g(x) = x^2 + 1
a) f(5) = 4(5) - 2 = 20 - 2 = 18.
b) g(-3) = (-3)^2 + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10.
c) g(x - 2)...
g(x - 2) = (x - 2)^2 + 1 = x^2 - 2x - 2x + 4 + 1 = x^2 - 4x + 5.
d) f(g(x)) = f(x^2 + 1) = 4(x^2 + 1) - 2 = 4x^2 + 4 - 2 = 4x^2 + 2.
Hope this helps!
