Question

Given the functions:
f(x) = 6x + 11 and g(x) = x + 6,

which of the following represents f[g(x)] correctly?

A. F[g(x)] = 6x + 47
B. F[g(x)] = 6x + 17
C. F[g(x)] = 6x^2 +47
D. F[g(x)] = 6x^2 + 17

Answer 1

Answer:

f[g(x)] = 6x + 47

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression f[g(x)] represents a composite function. You need to plug the function g(x) into the "x" value of the f(x) function. Then, you can simplify.

f(x) = 6x + 11               g(x) = x + 6

f[g(x)]                                                    <----- Composition expression

f[g(x)] = 6(x + 6) + 11                             <----- Plug g(x) into x

f[g(x)] = 6x + 36 + 11                             <----- Multiply terms in parentheses by 6

f[g(x)] = 6x + 47                                  <----- Add 36 and 11
