Composition of functions::
Let f:R-R
and g:R->R
then gof :R->R defined as (gof)(x)=g(f(x))

anonymous · Answer

I almost forgot about this notation!

Anyways, (g o f)(-2) really means g(f(-2)). So let's go from the inside out.

f(-2) = 3(-2) + 1
f(-2) = whatever

Then find g(whatever)

Please redefine your function g(x)

anonymous · Answer

is it x^2 -4x?

anonymous · Answer

g(x)=x^2+4x..... sorry
