Answer:
f(f(x)) = x⁴ + 2x² + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
if f(x) = x² + 1, then f(f(x)) is equal to:
f(x)² + 1
= (x² + 1)² + 1
= x⁴ + 2x² + 1 + 1
= x⁴ + 2x² + 2
the answer is 12
p(n)= 6-2(1+n)
so if p(2)
then n=2
therefore,
p(2)= 6-2(1+2)
= 4×3
=12
-243
true
There is no distribution (unless you count substitution) in the second set of terms.
Edit: I think I get what your question is now. You are supposed to distribute to every term inside the parenthesis (false)
