Answer:
(
h
∘
f
∘
g
)
(
x
)
is known as a composite function. Here's how composite functions work:
let's say that
x
=
1
. Your function
g
(
x
)
=
1
3
(
x
)
now produces a
y
output of
1
3
, since
g
(
1
)
=
1
3
(
1
)
. Within a composite function, the y-value of one function becomes the x-value of the next, like so:
g
(
1
)
=
1
3
⇒
f
(
1
3
)
=
17
3
⇒
h
(
17
3
)
=
17
Therefore,
(
h
∘
f
∘
g
)
(
1
)
=
17
Based on this, to find the function for
(
h
∘
f
∘
g
)
(
x
)
(combined from right to left, by the way), simply replace
x
in
f
(
x
)
with the function
g
(
x
)
, and replace
x
in
h
(
x
)
with the function of
(
f
∘
g
)
(
x
)
, to get
(
h
∘
f
∘
g
)
(
x
)
.
This, simplified, is equal to
2
x
+
15
, and therefore
(
h
∘
f
∘
g
)
(
1
)
=
2
(
1
)
+
15
=
17
Hope that helps!

The simplified version of this equation is 8
Answer:
- 33 1/3 liters of 30%
- 16 2/3 liters of 45%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the liters of 45% solution needed. Then the amount of HCl in the mix is ...
0.45x +0.30(50 -x) = 0.35(50)
0.15x = 0.05(50) . . . . . simplify, subtract 0.30(50)
x = (0.05/0.15)(50) = 50/3 = 16 2/3 . . . liters of 45% HCl
33 1/3 liters of 30% and 16 2/3 liters of 45% HCl are needed.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
You may notice that the general solution to a mixture problem of this sort is that the fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is ...
(mix % - low %) / (high % - low %) = (.35 -.30) / (.45 -.30) = .05/.15 = 1/3
Since the signs are different, you have to subtract. 2
