We can factor by grouping. To do so, we multiply the leading coefficient with the constant at the end. In other words, a times c (ax^2 + bx + c).
15*-4 = -60
Now we need to split the b term into two pieces that multiply to -60 and add to 4.
-6 and 10 will work.
Now group one part of b with the 15x^2 and the other part with -4.
(15x^2 + 10x) + (-6x - 4)
Now factor both terms.
5x(3x+2) - 2(3x+2)
3x+2 is one of our factors and 5x-2 is the other.
(3x+2)(5x-2)=0
Now just find the zeros.
3x+2 = 0
3x = -2
x = -2/3
And
5x-2 = 0
5x = 2
x = 2/5
So the answer is x = -2/3 and x = 2/5

Answer:
f(g(2))=84
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
Given data
f(x)= x*2 +3
g(x) = 4x + 1
Step two
Let us find g(2) first then we proceed to find f(g(2))
g(2)=4(2) +1
g(2)=8+1
g(2)=9
Since g(2)=9
f(g(2))=x*2 +3
f(g(2))=9*2 +3
f(g(2))=81+3
f(g(2))=84
