Question

F(x)=(-3x+2) and g(x)=(2x^2-5x-1)

Answer 1

Answer: -6x² + 15x + 5

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you only need to substitute g(x)'s equation as the value of the x in f(x), then simplify.

Step 1: f(x) = -3(2x² - 5x - 1) + 2

Step 2: Apply the distributive property

-3(2x²) + -3(-5x) + -3(-1)

-6x² + 15x + 3

Step 3: Simplify

f(x) = -6x² + 15x + 3 + 2

f(x) = -6x² + 15x + 5
