Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a composite function, f(g(x)). This means, working from the inside function to the outside, we will take the function g and plug it in for x in the f function. g(x) = 2x + 4. We will plug that into f(x) and evaluate f(2x+4):

[tex]f(g(x))=(2x+4)^2+2(2x+4)-5[/tex] and I imagine your teacher has you simplify completely. We FOIL and distribute to get

[tex]f(g(x))=4x^2+16x+16+4x+8-5[/tex] which, by combining like terms, give us

[tex]f(g(x))=4x^2+20x+19[/tex]
