Can someone please help me?
Given: f(x) = x² and g(x) = 2x + 1, find f[g(x)].

easy find g(x) first, then plug in that answer into the f(x) equation-that probably makes no sense though.
I need an x value or do you just want the combined equation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If it is just the combined equation it would be this..
\[x ^{2}(2x+1)\]

Distributive property...

f[g(x)] = f*x*g = g(x²) = x²(2x + 1). Correct me if I'm wrong please.

It's multiple choice and the choices are
2x^2 + 1
4x^2 + 1
4x^2 + 4x + 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4x^2 + 1. I'm pretty sure. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Well if x=2 I would plug it into g(x) an get 2(2)+1=5
Now plug 5 into f(x)
5^2=25
