Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given two functions, f(x)=2x+5 f(x) = 2x + 5 and g(x)=5x2 g(x) = 5x^2 .
2. We need to find the composition of these functions, specifically (fg)(x) (f \circ g)(x) .

STEP 2

1. Understand the concept of function composition.
2. Substitute g(x) g(x) into f(x) f(x) .
3. Simplify the resulting expression.

STEP 3

Understand that (fg)(x) (f \circ g)(x) means f(g(x)) f(g(x)) . This requires substituting the output of g(x) g(x) into the input of f(x) f(x) .

STEP 4

Substitute g(x)=5x2 g(x) = 5x^2 into f(x)=2x+5 f(x) = 2x + 5 . This means replacing every x x in f(x) f(x) with g(x) g(x) .
f(g(x))=f(5x2)=2(5x2)+5 f(g(x)) = f(5x^2) = 2(5x^2) + 5

STEP 5

Simplify the expression 2(5x2)+5 2(5x^2) + 5 .
2×5x2=10x2 2 \times 5x^2 = 10x^2
So, f(g(x))=10x2+5 f(g(x)) = 10x^2 + 5 .

STEP 6

The simplified expression for (fg)(x) (f \circ g)(x) is:
(fg)(x)=10x2+5 (f \circ g)(x) = 10x^2 + 5
This is the final result of the function composition.
