Let f(x) = x2 + x + 2 and g(x) = 2x2 + 5. Find f(g(x)). Show each step of your work.
\(f(g(x))=(2x^2+5)^2+2x^2+5+2\\ f(g(x))=4x^4+20x^2+25+2x^2+7\\ f(g(x))=4x^4+22x^2+32\)
For given functions f(x) and g(x) the composite function f(g(x)) is \(f(g(x))=4x^4+22x^2+32\)
For given question,
We have been given two functions,
\(f(x) = x^2 + x + 2,~g(x) = 2x^2 + 5.\)
We need to find f(g(x))
This means we need to find composite function \(\( f\circ g(x)=f(g(x))\)
We have, \(g(x) = 2x^2 + 5\)
We find the value of f(x) for x = g(x)
\(f(g(x))\\\\=f(2x^2 + 5)\\\\=(2x^2 + 5)^2 + (2x^2 + 5) + 2\\\\=[(2x^2)^2+2(2x^2)(5)+5^2]+2x^2+5+2\\\\=[4x^4+20x^2+25]+2x^2+7\\\\=4x^4+20x^2+2x^2+25+7\\\\=4x^4+22x^2+32\)
Therefore, for given functions f(x) and g(x) the composite function f(g(x)) is \(f(g(x))=4x^4+22x^2+32\)
