(fog)x means f(g(x)) so plug in g(x) into f(x) as in plug in x^2 - 6 as x into 3x+1 and simplify

do I have to subtract 1 to both sides?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

it would be an expression, no equal signs like 3(x^2-6)+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mmmm do I distribute the 3?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yep :)

(3x^2-18)+1 ?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
