Example Question #1139 : Pre Calculus
We are given the following:
and
.
Find:
None of the other answers.
None of the other answers.
Let's discuss what the problem is asking us to solve. The expression (read as as "f of g of x") is the same as
. In other words, we need to substitute
into
.
Substitute the equation of for the variable in the given
function:
Next we need to FOIL the squared term and simplify:
FOIL means that we multiply terms in the following order: first, outer, inner, and last.
First:
Outer:
Inner:
Last:
When we combine like terms, we get the following:
Substitute this back into the equation and continue to simplify.
None of the answers are correct.
