Answer

$f[g(x)]=36x+72-22\sqrt{x+2}$ $g[f(x)]=2\sqrt{9x^{2}-11x+2}$

Work Step by Step

In the expression for f(x), replace x with g(x) $f[g(x)]=9(g(x))^{2}-11g(x)$ $=9(2\sqrt{x+2})^{2}-11(2\sqrt{x+2})$ $=9[4(x+2)]-22\sqrt{x+2}$ $=36(x+2)-22\sqrt{x+2}$ $=36x+72-22\sqrt{x+2}$ In the expression for g(x), replace x with f(x) $g[f(x)]=2\sqrt{f(x)+2}$ $=2\sqrt{(9x^{2}-11x)+2}$ $=2\sqrt{9x^{2}-11x+2}$
