Question

I have the answer, but I'm a little confused as to which one it is. I answered the first question, but the second step seems to be wrong.

## Expert Solution

### Step 1

We can solve this as follows:

### Step 2

We have,  
f(x) = 8x and g(x) = x + 6  
We need to find the composition of the given functions. So, (f∘g)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(x + 6)  
(since g(x) = x + 6) = 8(x + 6)  
(since, f(x) = 8x ⇒ f(x + 6) = 8(x + 6)) = 8x + 48

Therefore, (f∘g)(x) = 8x + 48

(b) (g∘f)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(8x)  
(since f(x) = 8x) = 8x + 6  
(since, g(x) = x + 6 ⇒ g(8x) = 8x + 6)  
(g∘f)(x) = 8x + 6

(c) (f∘g)(3) = 8×3 + 48 = 72  
(c) (g∘f)(3) = 8×3 + 6 = 30
