For f (x) = 2x+1 and g(x) = x2 - 7, find (fºg)(2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Your first step will be to set up the problem:

f(x) - g(x)

Next you will substitute in your values:

(2x + 1) - (x2 - 7)

The easiest way to do the subtraction problems is to distribute your negative into your second set of parenthesis, so your expression would become:

2x + 1 - x2 + 7

Then combine your like terms:

2x - x2 + 8

Lastly put your expression in standard form (highest exponent to lowest)

-x2 + 2x + 8

Hope this helped!
