In a certain lake, the bass feed primarily on minnows, and the minnows feed on plankton. If the size of the bass population is a function f (n) of the number n of minnows in the lake, and the number of minnows is a function g(x) of the amount x of plankton in the lake, express the size of the bass population as a function of the amount of plankton, if f (n) = 50 + 2n>150 and g(x) = 4x + 3.
