Answer
\( (f \circ g)(x) = 6x^{2} + 4x + 2 \)
Solution
To find (f ∘ g)(x), we substitute g(x) into f(x):
1. Write down the functions:
f(x) = 2x + 2
g(x) = 3x² + 2x
2. Substitute g(x) into f(x):
(f ∘ g)(x) = f(g(x)) = 2(3x² + 2x) + 2
3. Simplify the expression:
= 6x² + 4x + 2
Thus, (f ∘ g)(x) = 6x² + 4x + 2.

Bonus Knowledge
To find \( (f \circ g)(x) \), we need to substitute \( g(x) \) into \( f(x) \). First, we have \( g(x) = 3x^2 + 2x \). Now, substituting \( g(x) \) into \( f(x) \): \[ f(g(x)) = f(3x^2 + 2x) = 2(3x^2 + 2x) + 2 \] Now, simplify this expression: \[ = 6x^2 + 4x + 2 \] Therefore, \( (f \circ g)(x) = 6x^2 + 4x + 2 \).
