To find \( f \circ g \circ h \), we first need to evaluate each function step by step. 1. Start with \( h(x) = 1 - x \). 2. Plug \( h(x) \) into \( g(x) \): \[ g(h(x)) = g(1 - x) = (1-x)^2 = 1 - 2x + x^2. \] 3. Now plug \( g(h(x)) \) into \( f(x) \): \[ f(g(h(x))) = f(1 - 2x + x^2) = 2(1 - 2x + x^2) - 1 = 2 - 4x + 2x^2 - 1 = 2x^2 - 4x + 1. \] Thus, \( f \circ g \circ h = 2x^2 - 4x + 1 \). For part b, to express \( F(x) = \sin^2(x - 3)\) as a composition of functions \( f, g, \) and \( h \): 1. We can let \( h(x) = x - 3 \). 2. Then, define \( g(x) = \sin(x) \). 3. Finally, let \( f(x) = x^2 \). Putting it together, we have \( F(x) = f(g(h(x))) = f(g(x - 3)) = f(\sin(x - 3)) = \sin^2(x - 3) \).
