Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is (f o g)(x) = 2x^2 - 13
In order to find a composite function, you take the first letter (in this case f) and use that equation. You then remove the variable and put in the second letter (g).
f(x) = 2x + 1 ----> Remove variable.
f(x) = 2( ) + 1 ----> Insert g(x)
(f o g)(x) = 2(x^2 - 7) + 1 ----> Distribute
(f o g)(x) = 2x^2 - 14 + 1 ----> Simplify
(f o g)(x) = 2x^2 - 13
Ralph is 3 years old
Casey is 18 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of Ralph be x
Then Casey is 6 times as old as Ralph will be 6x
In two years
Ralph =x+2
Casey=6x+2 ⇒ 4(x+2)
Equate the two equations for Casey as
6x+2 = 4x+8
6x-4x=8-2
2x=6
x=6/2= 3
Current age;
Ralph= x= 3 years old
Casey=6x = 6*3= 18 years
