Answer:

(g◦f)(x) = 2x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

(g◦f)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(2x -1) = (2x -1) +2

(g◦f)(x) = 2x +1

Substitute f(x) for the argument in the function g(x) and simplify.

How to evaluate the limit

anzhelika [568]

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}\frac{x^2-x+6}{x+2}$

Both the numerator and denominator are continuous at $x=2$ , which means the quotient rule for limits applies:

$\dfrac{\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}(x^2-x+6)}{\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}(x+2)}=\dfrac{2^2-2+6}{2+2}=\dfrac84=2$

Perhaps you meant to write that $x\to-2$ instead? In that case, you would have

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-2}\frac{x^2-x+6}{x+2}=\lim_{x\to-2}\frac{(x+2)(x-3)}{x+2}=\lim_{x\to-2}(x-3)=-2-3=-5$
