Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a composite function, f(g(x)). This means, working from the inside function to the outside, we will take the function g and plug it in for x in the f function. g(x) = 2x + 4. We will plug that into f(x) and evaluate f(2x+4):

$f(g(x))=(2x+4)^2+2(2x+4)-5$ and I imagine your teacher has you simplify completely. We FOIL and distribute to get

$f(g(x))=4x^2+16x+16+4x+8-5$ which, by combining like terms, give us

$f(g(x))=4x^2+20x+19$

Answer:

$\textbf{The slope of the parallel line is given by $ 2 $}\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\textup{The slope of any two parallel lines are equal and they only differ in their $y- intercepts$. }\\\textup{Given $y = 2x + 4 $}\\\textup{This is comparable to $y = mx + c$, where $m$ is the slope of that line.}\\\textup{Therefore, the slope of the given line and any line parallel to it is $ 2$.}$
