The domain for f(x) and g(x) is the set of all real numbers. Let f(x) = 2x2 + x − 3 and g(x) = x + 2. Find (f • g)(x).

@vocaloid 2x^3 + 5x^2 − x − 6?

Vocaloid:

good

Zepdrix:

\[\large\rm f=2x^2+x-3\]\[\large\rm \color{orangered}{g=x+2}\]Then,\[\large\rm f(\color{orangered}{g})=2\color{orangered}{g}^2+\color{orangered}{g}-3\]\[\large\rm f(\color{orangered}{g})=2\color{orangered}{(x+2)}^2+\color{orangered}{(x+2)}-3\]

Zepdrix:

You shouldn't end up with a cubic.. third power... hmmm

Zepdrix:

Oh is that multiply dot? Maybe I misread that :c dang

Vocaloid:

oh I was treating • as multiplication not a composition

Vocaloid:

their homework uses an open circle for composition notation

Zepdrix:

oops :U

eviant:

@Vocaloid it is multiplying not an open circle when I say (fog) that's an open circle

eviant:

so, was my answer right?

Vocaloid:

yes
