<u>ANSWER</u>
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
Given
and
We want to find
This means we substitute the function in to another function
and evaluate.
This implies that;
We expand the parenthesis to obtain;
We simplify further to obtain;
Hence the correct answer is A
The answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to perform the operations and then, add like terms.
We need to apply the distributive property, which is defined by the following way:
Also, we need to remember how to add like terms. Like terms are terms that share the same exponent and the same variable, for example:
We were able to add only the first two terms since they are like terms, both are sharing the same exponent and the same variable.
So, we are given the expression:
Then, solving we have:
Hence, we have that the answer is:
Have a nice day!
