![**Question: Functional Composition**
Define \( f(x) = 4 + x - x^2 \) and \( g(x) = 5x - 3 \).
Then \( (f \circ g)(x) = (g \circ f)(x) \).
- [ ] True
- [ ] False
**Explanation:**
In this problem, we are given two functions \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) and asked whether their compositions are equal regardless of the order of the composition.
Let’s compute each composition:
1. **For \( (f \circ g)(x) \):**
This means we substitute \( g(x) \) into \( f(x) \):
\[
(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(5x - 3)
\]
Plug \( 5x - 3 \) into \( f(x) \):
\[
f(5x - 3) = 4 + (5x - 3) - (5x - 3)^2
\]
2. **For \( (g \circ f)(x) \):**
This means we substitute \( f(x) \) into \( g(x) \):
\[
(g \circ f)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(4 + x - x^2)
\]
Plug \( 4 + x - x^2 \) into \( g(x) \):
\[
g(4 + x - x^2) = 5(4 + x - x^2) - 3
\]
After computing both compositions, compare them to check if they are equal. This involves both distribution and simplification.
**Answer the question by selecting either True or False based on your computations.**](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd24861ef-92b0-4cd8-8c54-2ac2200498ec%2F0c252a54-b5a4-48de-8961-23d2be9ffd0f%2F3p5qygo_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
