If f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = x + 2, then what is f(g(x))?

To find f(g(x)), we need to substitute g(x) into the function f(x).

We have:

  • f(x) = 2x + 1
  • g(x) = x + 2

Now, we substitute g(x) into f:

f(g(x)) = f(x + 2)

Now, replace x in f(x) with (x + 2):

f(x + 2) = 2(x + 2) + 1

Next, we simplify this expression:

f(x + 2) = 2x + 4 + 1

So, f(x + 2) = 2x + 5.

Therefore, f(g(x)) = 2x + 5.
