Problem

Find $f[g(x)]$ or $(f \circ g)(x)$ \[ \begin{array}{l} f(x)=x^{2}+3 x \\ g(x)=x-2 \end{array} \]

Solution

Step 1 :Let's find the composition of two functions, $f(x)$ and $g(x)$, denoted as $(f \circ g)(x)$ or $f[g(x)]$.

Step 2 :We have $f(x)=x^{2}+3 x$ and $g(x)=x-2$.

Step 3 :To find the composition of two functions, we substitute the second function, $g(x)$, into the first function, $f(x)$.

Step 4 :Substitute $x-2$ (which is $g(x)$) into $f(x) = x^2 + 3x$.

Step 5 :So, $f[g(x)] = (x-2)^2 + 3*(x-2)$

Step 6 :Simplify the expression to get $f[g(x)] = x^2 - x - 2$.

Step 7 :\(\boxed{f[g(x)] = x^2 - x - 2}\)
