Suppose you are given the two functions  f (x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = –x2 + 5. Composition means that you can plug g(x) into  f (x)

Answer:

Degree of (fog)(x) is:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given [tex]f(x)=5x^2\ and\ g(x)=2x^3[/tex]

We have to find the degree of the function (fog)(x)

First of all we find (fog)(x)

(fog)(x)=f(g(x))

          =[tex]f(2x^3)[/tex]

          =[tex]5(2x^3)^2[/tex]

         =[tex]5\times 2^2\times x^6[/tex]

         = [tex]20x^6[/tex]

Hence, Degree of (fog)(x) is:

6

(Since degree is the highest power of x contained in the expression)
