QuestionFind the composite function for f(x)=4x2+5x+6f(x)=4 x^{2}+5 x+6 and g(x)=5x3g(x)=5 x-3: (gf)(x)(g \circ f)(x).

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We have two functions, f(x)=4x+5x+6f(x) =4x^ +5x +6 and g(x)=5x3g(x) =5x -3. . We are asked to find the composite function (gf)(x)(g \circ f)(x), which means we need to substitute f(x)f(x) into g(x)g(x).

STEP 2

The composite function (gf)(x)(g \circ f)(x) is defined as g(f(x))g(f(x)). This means we substitute f(x)f(x) into g(x)g(x) wherever we see an xx.

STEP 3

Substitute f(x)f(x) into g(x)g(x).
(gf)(x)=g(f(x))=5f(x)3(g \circ f)(x) = g(f(x)) =5f(x) -3

STEP 4

Substitute f(x)f(x) into the equation from3.
(gf)(x)=(4x2+x+6)3(g \circ f)(x) =(4x^2 +x +6) -3

STEP 5

Expand the equation from4.
(gf)(x)=20x2+25x+303(g \circ f)(x) =20x^2 +25x +30 -3

STEP 6

implify the equation from5.
(gf)(x)=20x2+25x+27(g \circ f)(x) =20x^2 +25x +27The composite function (gf)(x)(g \circ f)(x) is 20x2+25x+2720x^2 +25x +27.
