is my work right? F(x)=4x^2+x+1 G(x)=x^2-2 G(f(x))=(4x^2+X+1)^2-2 G(f(x))=16X^4+X^2+1^2+2.4X^2+X+2.4X^2+1+2X-2 G(f(x))= 16X^4 +8X^3+9x^2+2X-1

\[\large \bf gof(x)=g(f(x))\] Simply put function f(x) into function g(x) in place of variable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 4x^2+x+1=x^2-2

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

nope Lemme tell you

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

\[\large \bf f(x)=4x^2+x+1\] \[\large \bf g(x)=x^2-2\] \[\large \bf g(f(x))=(4x^2+x+1)^2-2\] in additional , \[\large \bf f(g(x))=4(x^2-2)^2+(x^2-2)+1\]

hope you understand ! @Motown117
