Question

## Composition of Functions

Given the functions $ f(x) = 5x - 4 $ and $ g(x) = x^2 - 5x + 6 $, we are tasked with finding the composition of functions $ (f \circ g)(x) $ and $ (g \circ f)(x) $.

### Definitions

- **Composition of Functions**: The composition of two functions $ f $ and $ g $ is denoted as $ (f \circ g)(x) $, which means $ f(g(x)) $. Similarly, $ (g \circ f)(x) $ means $ g(f(x)) $.

### Calculation

1. **Calculate $ (f \circ g)(x) $**:
\[
(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(x^2 - 5x + 6)
\]
Substitute $ g(x) $ into $ f(x) $:
\[
f(x^2 - 5x + 6) = 5(x^2 - 5x + 6) - 4
\]
Expand the expression:
\[
= 5x^2 - 25x + 30 - 4 = 5x^2 - 25x + 26
\]

2. **Calculate $ (g \circ f)(x) $**:
\[
(g \circ f)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(5x - 4)
\]
Substitute $ f(x) $ into $ g(x) $:
\[
g(5x - 4) = (5x - 4)^2 - 5(5x - 4) + 6
\]
Expand the expression:
\[
= (25x^2 - 40x + 16) - (25x - 20) + 6
\]
Simplify the expression:
\[
= 25x^2 - 40x + 16 - 25x + 20 + 6 = 25x^2 - 65x + 42
\]

### Conclusion

- $ (f \circ g)(x) = 5x^2 - 25x + 26 $
