Identify f(x) and g(x) from equation, if each is in the form of f(g(x)) 5(2x+3)^3-9(2x+3)

So it is kinda like this! f(x) would be = 5x^3 - 9x Whereas g(x) = 2x+3 It is self evident from the question! It is because f(g(x)) will have the value of x substituted by g(x) Getting me? :)

somewhat..u lost me at f(g(x)) will have the value of x substituted by g(x)

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

f(x) means that their is a variable with x! That is it is a FUNCTION OF x But in this case they want us to find f(g(x)) So that would mean that whatever g(x) is, has been written in place of x in f(x) so here g(x) = 2x + 3 has been written in place of all the x's in f(x) Which should be f(x) = 5x^3 - 9x Getting me? :D

ohhh ok. I get u now. A big fat thank u to u :)
