Answer:
[tex](f \cdot g)(x)[/tex] = [tex]2x^2 -1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex](f \cdot g)(x)[/tex], read as "f of g of x", means we have to use the function [tex]\bf g(x)[/tex] as input for the function [tex]\bf f(x)[/tex]. This means, we have to replace the [tex]x[/tex] in the definition of [tex]f(x)[/tex] with [tex]g(x)[/tex].
[tex]f(x)=x+3[/tex]
[tex]g(x) = 2x^2 - 4[/tex]
∴ [tex](f \cdot g)(x) = f(g(x))[/tex]
⇒ [tex]g(x) + 3[/tex]
⇒ [tex](2x^2 - 4) + 3[/tex]
⇒ [tex]2x^2 -1[/tex]
