Answer:
(k ∘ p)(x) = 2x^2 − 12x + 13
Step-by-step explanation:
k(x) = 2x^2 − 5 and p(x) = x − 3,
(k ∘ p)(x).= k(p(x))
This means put the function p(x) in for x in the function k(x)
(k ∘ p)(x) = 2(p(x)^2) -5
= 2(x-3)^2 -5
= 2 (x-3)(x-3) -5
FOIL
=2(x^2 -3x -3x+9) -5
=2 (x^2 -6x+9) -5
= 2x^2 -12x +18 -5
Combine like terms
= 2x^2 -12x +13
