Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given two functions: f(x)=2x+1 f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x)=3x1 g(x) = 3x - 1 .
2. We need to find the composition of these functions, f(g(x)) f(g(x)) .
3. We will evaluate f(g(x)) f(g(x)) and match it with the given options.

STEP 2

1. Substitute g(x) g(x) into f(x) f(x) .
2. Simplify the expression for f(g(x)) f(g(x)) .
3. Compare the simplified expression with the given options.

STEP 3

Substitute g(x)=3x1 g(x) = 3x - 1 into f(x)=2x+1 f(x) = 2x + 1 :
f(g(x))=f(3x1) f(g(x)) = f(3x - 1)

STEP 4

Substitute 3x1 3x - 1 into the function f(x) f(x) :
f(3x1)=2(3x1)+1 f(3x - 1) = 2(3x - 1) + 1

STEP 5

Simplify the expression:
f(3x1)=23x21+1 f(3x - 1) = 2 \cdot 3x - 2 \cdot 1 + 1 f(3x1)=6x2+1 f(3x - 1) = 6x - 2 + 1 f(3x1)=6x1 f(3x - 1) = 6x - 1

STEP 6

Compare the simplified expression 6x1 6x - 1 with the given options:
- 5x 5x - 6x+2 6x + 2 - 6x2+x1 6x^2 + x - 1 - 6x1 6x - 1 - x2 x - 2
The expression 6x1 6x - 1 matches the option 6x1 6x - 1 .
The value of f(g(x)) f(g(x)) is:
6x1 \boxed{6x - 1}
