Answer:


f(x) = 3x^2 and
g(x) = x + 2

Explanation:

Given


h(x) = 3(x+2)^2


h(x) = (fog)(x)

Required

Find possible expressions for f(x) and g(x)


h(x) = (fog)(x)

This can be rewritten as:


h(x) = f(g(x))

Recall that
h(x) = 3(x+2)^2

So;


h(x) = f(g(x)) = 3(x+2)^2


f(g(x)) = 3(x+2)^2

By comparison, the expression in bracket represents g(x);

Hence;


g(x) = x + 2

Replace g(x) with x


f(x) = 3(x)^2


f(x) = 3x^2

Hence, the possible expressions of f(x) and g(x) are:


f(x) = 3x^2 and
g(x) = x + 2
