I'm here! Let me look and we will do it together.
OpenStudy (imstuck):
Take your d function and wherever you see an x, replace that x with the whole c function, like this:
OpenStudy (imstuck):
c(x)=4x-2 d(x)=x^2+5x We want to find c(d(x)). The inner function is where you begin...ALWAYS. Wherever you see the x in the d function, replace it with the whole of the c function:\[(4x-2)^{2}+5(4x-2)\]

The d function has an x squared, so replace the x with 4x-2 and then you have to square it. D also has a 5x in it. Replace the x with 4x-2 and you get 5(4x-3)
OpenStudy (imstuck):
(4x-2)(4x-2). Do that expansion first.
OpenStudy (imstuck):
That comes to\[16x ^{2}-16x+4\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
16x^2- 16x+4
OpenStudy (imstuck):
Now distribute the 5 into the 4x-2 to get...

5(4x-2)=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
20x-10
OpenStudy (imstuck):
Good! Now we have this:
OpenStudy (imstuck):
\[16x ^{2}-16x+4+20x-10\]Combine all the like terms and what is the end result?
