Just take both sides multiply by 2 then divide 3

The intersecting secants theorem says
That is, for either secant line, you take the length of the part of the secant line outside the circle (6 and 5 in this case) and multiply it by the "total" length of the secant line between the point where the two secant lines intersect and the furthest point where the secant touches the circle (6+12=18 and 5+x in this case). The theorem says these products are equal.
Then
Remark
First of all you have to declare the meaning of g(f(x)) After you have done that, you have to make the correct substitution.
Givens
f(x) = 4x^2 + x + 1
g(x) = x^2 - 2
Discussion
What the given condition g(f(x)) means is that you begin with g(x). Write down g(x) = x^2 - 2
Wherever you see an x on either the left or right side of the equation, you put fix)
Then wherever you see f(x) on the right you put in what f(x) is equal to.
Solution
g(x) = x^2 - 2
g(f(x)) = (f(x))^2 - 2
g(f(x)) = [4x^2 + x + 1]^2 - 2
f(x)^2 =
4x^2 + x + 1
<u>4x^2 + x + 1</u>
16x^4 + 4x^3 + 4x^2
4x^3 + x^2 + x
<u> 4x^2 + x + 1</u>
16x^4 + 8x^3 + 9x^2 + 2x + 1
Answer
g(f(x)) = 16x^4 + 8x^3 + 9x^2 + 2x + 1 - 2
g(f(x)) = 16x^4 + 8x^3 + 9x^2 + 2x - 1
