Solución
We are given that
\[
f(x)=4x-1 \quad \text{and} \quad g(x)=kx^2,
\]
and that
\[
f(g(2))=12.
\]
1. First, compute \( g(2) \):
\[
g(2)=k(2)^2=4k.
\]
2. Next, evaluate \( f(g(2)) \). Since \( f(x)=4x-1 \), substituting \( x=4k \) gives:
\[
f(4k)=4(4k)-1=16k-1.
\]
3. Set up the equation using the given condition:
\[
16k-1=12.
\]
4. Solve for \( k \):
\[
16k=12+1=13 \quad \Longrightarrow \quad k=\frac{13}{16}=0.8125.
\]
Thus, correct to 4 decimal places,
\[
k=0.8125.
\]

To solve for \( k \), we start by finding \( fg(2) \). 1. First, we find \( g(2) \): \[ g(2) = k \cdot (2^2) = k \cdot 4 = 4k. \] 2. Next, we calculate \( f(g(2)) \): \[ f(g(2)) = f(4k) = 4(4k) - 1 = 16k - 1. \] 3. We know \( fg(2) = 12 \), so we set up the equation: \[ 16k - 1 = 12. \] 4. Now, solve for \( k \): \[ 16k = 12 + 1 = 13, \] \[ k = \frac{13}{16} = 0.8125. \] So the value of \( k \) is \( 0.8125 \).
