Thread: function composition

Given f(x)=5x+7 and g(x)=x^2+7, find (g 0 f)(x). I think it is (g 0 f)(x) = (5x)^2+14, gut not sue thanks for any help given.

kwtolley, just a thought. You seem to know the method to do these problems, but you are consistently getting them wrong due to minor errors. My thought it that you are simply trying to do them too fast. If you are not doing so already I would suggest you write down each step of the problem as you are doing it.
