Answer: i) 1 - 9x² - 12x
ii) 17 - 3x²
iii) - 20 + 10x² - x⁴
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) = 3x + 2 h(x) = 5 - x²
i) h(g(x))
h(3x + 2) = 5 - (3x + 2)²
= 5 - (9x² + 12x + 4)
= 5 - 9x² - 12x - 4
= 1 - 9x² - 12x
ii) g(h(x))
g(5 - x²) = 3(5 - x²) + 2
= 15 - 3x² + 2
= 17 - 3x²
iii) h(h(x))
h(5 - x²) = 5 - (5 - x²)²
= 5 - (25 - 10x² + x⁴)
= 5 - 25 + 10x² - x⁴
= -20 + 10x² - x⁴
