Let f : R R be defined by f(x)=3 x^2-5 and g: R R by g(x)= x x^2+1 , then g f is
Options
- A3 x^2-5 9 x^4-6 x^2+26
- B3 x^2 x^4+2 x^2-4
- C3 x^2 9 x^4+30 x^2-2
- D3 x^2-5 9 x^4-30 x^2+26
Correct answer
D. 3 x^2-5 9 x^4-30 x^2+26
Step-by-step solution
Given that f(x)=3 x^2-5 and g(x)= x x^2+1 g o t=g f(x) =g (3 x^2-5 ) aligned & = 3 x^2-5 (3 x^2-5 )^2+1 = 3 x^2-5 9 x^4-30 x^2+25+1 & = 3 x^2-5 9 x^4-30 x^2+26 aligned
