Hello there!
I'm assuming since there is no question, that you want an explanation for composite functions.
Today, I want to introduce you to a very new way of looking at functions. Think of a function as a machine. I'll call this machine f. When you plug something into this machine, it is an x-value. The machine changes the x-value into a new value which is called a y-value. This is how a function works.
With composite functions though, things get a little bit tricky. To make f(g(x)), you need to plug in x into the g machine, and it will give you an output. (y-value) The next thing you do is take that y-value and plug it into the g machine. The g machine then gives you a new value. This value is f(g(x)).
Let's do an example together...
f(x)=3x and g(x)=x²+4
if we want f(g(x)), first plug in x to the g machine. when plugging in x to the g machine, we get x²+4 as given in the question.
Now we must plug in g(x) into the f machine. Since g(x) is x²+4, we just replace x with x²+4.
We get 3(x²+4)
This means that f(g(x))=3(x²+4)
NOTE: If you are seeking help with an actual question, please message me in the comments and I will assist you shortly!
I hope this helps!

Answer:
I am pretty sure the answer is 498.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to solve the parentheses first. So,
9(7 (14-6) -3 x 2)
63 (8) -6)
63(8)-6
63(8) = 504
504-6 = 498
please let me know f this is correct :)
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Please let me know if you want me to add an explanation as to why this is the answer. I can definitely do that, I just don’t want to waste my time in case you don’t want me to :)
The greatest common factor is 6. Thus means we divide every part of the expression by 6.
6x^2/6 = x^2
42x/6 = 7x
-18/6 = -3
Your new expression is 6(x^2 + 7x -3).
