Relations and Functions

Question:

Functions $f, g : R \to R$ are defined, respectively, by $f(x) = x^2 + 3x + 1$, $g(x) = 2x - 3$, find $gof$.

Options:

$4x^2 - 6x + 1$

$2x^2 + 6x - 1$

$2x^2 + 3x - 2$

$2x^2 + 6x + 5$

Correct Answer:

$2x^2 + 6x - 1$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $2x^2 + 6x - 1$ ##

Given that, $f(x) = x^2 + 3x + 1, g(x) = 2x - 3$

$gof(x) = g\{f(x)\} = g(x^2 + 3x + 1)$

$= 2(x^2 + 3x + 1) – 3$

$= 2x^2 + 6x + 2 - 3 = 2x^2 + 6x – 1$
