Answer:
a) f g(x) = x³ - 5 x² + x -5
b) g(f(x) = x³ - 5 x² + x -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step(i):-
Given that f(x) = x² + 1 and g(x) = x-5
a)
f(g(x)) = f(x-5) = (x-5)²+1 = x² - 10x +25 +1 = x² - 10 x +26
Step(ii):-
a) f g(x) = f(x) g(x) = (x² + 1 )(x-5) = x³ - 5 x² + x -5
b) g(f(x) = g(x) f(x) = (x-5) (x²+1) = x³ - 5 x² + x -5
