Question

For the functions f(x)=2x−5 and g(x)=3x2−x, find (f∘g)(x) and (g∘f)(x).

Answer 1

Hi,

f°g means :  apply first g then f . so calculate  "g" and then use result as "x" in f.  

g°f  means :   you apply first  f then g  

so :  f°g =    2(3x²-x) -5  =   6x²-2x- 5

To improve in math, you need practice. have a try with  g°f  :)

give the answer in comments, and I will tell you if you are correct.

good luck.
