Help please!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $x^{2}$ - 4x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(p о n) (x) is the same thing as (p(n(x))

We know n(x) = x - 5, so let's input that into our expression

(p(x - 5))

Since we know p(x) = x^2 + 6x, let's replace the x with the new value x-5. Now our expression is:

p(x) = (x - 5)^2 + 6(x - 5)

Now all we have to do is simplify.

(x - 5)^2 is the same as:  (x - 5)(x - 5)

Using the foil method, it simplifies to:  x^2 - 10x + 25

6 (x - 5) = 6x - 30

Now our expression is:  x^2 - 10x + 25 + 6x - 30

Combine like terms:  x^2 - 4x - 5

The expression is: $x^{2}$ - 4x - 5
