If ( f ∘ g)(x) = x2 - 6x + 8 and g(x) = x - 3, what is f(x)?

$\bf \begin{cases}
(f\circ g)(x)=x^2-6x+8\\\\
(f\circ g)(x)=f(~~g(x)~~)\\\\
g(x)=x-3\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, one probability is }x^2-1
\\\\\\
f(x)=x^2-1\implies f(~~g(x)~~)=(x-3)^2-1
\\\\\\
f(~~g(x)~~)=(x^2-6x+9)-1\implies f(~~g(x)~~)=x^2-6x+8$

X = ? y = ? 16 45 degrees

Let's put more details in the figure to better understand the problem:

Let's first recall the three main trigonometric functions:

$\text{ Sine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Opposite Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}$ $\text{ Cosine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Adjacent Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}$ $\text{ Tangent }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Opposite Side}}{\text{ Adjacent Side}}$

For x, we will be using the Cosine Function:

$\text{ Cosine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Adjacent Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}$ $Cosine(45^{\circ})\text{ = }\frac{\text{ x}}{\text{ 1}6}$ $(16)Cosine(45^{\circ})\text{ = x}$ $(16)(\frac{1}{\sqrt[]{2}})\text{ = x}$ $\text{ }\frac{16}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ x }\frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ = }\frac{16\sqrt[]{2}}{2}$ $\text{ 8}\sqrt[]{2}\text{ = x}$

Therefore, x = 8√2.

For y, we will be using the Sine Function.

$\text{ Sine }\theta\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Opposite Side}}{\text{ Hypotenuse}}$ $\text{ Sine }(45^{\circ})\text{ = }\frac{\text{ y}}{\text{ 1}6}$ $\text{ (16)Sine }(45^{\circ})\text{ = y}$ $\text{ (16)(}\frac{1}{\sqrt[]{2}})\text{ = y}$ $\text{ }\frac{16}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ x }\frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{\sqrt[]{2}}\text{ = }\frac{16\sqrt[]{2}}{2}$ $\text{ 8}\sqrt[]{2}\text{ = y}$

Therefore, y = 8√2.
