Jim was given three functions and asked to determine ƒ + (g ○ h). The functions were ƒ (x) = x2, g(x) = 3x + 1, and h(x) = 2x. J
im started by writing the problem as (ƒ + (g ○ h))(x) = x2 + 2(3x + 1). What was Jim's mistake? What is the correct solution? A. Jim omitted the x in h(x); (ƒ + (g ○ h)) = 7x2 + 2x. B. Jim should have added ƒ and g first; (ƒ + (g ○ h)) = 4x2 + 6x + 1. C. Jim incorrectly performed h ○ g instead of g ○ h; (ƒ + (g ○ h)) = x2 + 6x + 1. D. Jim did not follow the order of operations; (ƒ + (g ○ h)) = x2 + 6x + 2.
