Substitute function “h” or g(x) to all “x” variables.
Substitute function “g” or g(x) to all “x” variables. 2
2
-5(x + 2) - 3 (x 2+ 4x + 4) + 2
Since there is an “x” value, substitute it to all the “x” variables.
Since there is an “x” value, substitute it to all the 3 2

-5(2 + 2) - 3 Solve.

f(x) = - 5x - 3 4 = 25 - 20 + 4+ 2
Solve:

g(x) = x + 2
4 = -5(4) -3 =5+4+2
h(x) = x 2+ 4x + 4 = -20 -3 = 11
= -23 (g o h) (-5) = 11
(f o g) (2) = 23
