To find f(g(x)), we need to substitute g(x) into the function f(x).
We know that:
- f(x) = x^2
- g(x) = x^4
Now, we can substitute g(x) into f(x):
f(g(x)) = f(x^4)
This means we replace x in f(x) with x^4:
f(g(x)) = (x^4)^2
When we simplify this, we get:
(x^4)^2 = x^{4*2} = x^8
So, the final answer is:
f(g(x)) = x^8
