Answer

$a.\qquad 4418$ $b.\qquad-191$ $c.\qquad 8$ $d.\qquad-2$

Work Step by Step

$a.$ $(f\circ g)(4)=f[g(4)]$ $g(4)=1-3(4^{2})=1-3(16)=-47$ $f[g(4)]=f(-47)=2(-47)^{2}=4418$ $b.$ $(g\circ f)(2)=g[f(2)]$ $f(2)=2(2)^{2}=8$ $g[f(2)]=g(8)=1-3(8)^{2}$ $=1-3(64)=-191$ $c.$ $(f\circ f)(1)=f[f(1)]$ $f(1)=2(1)^{2}=2$ $f[f(1)]=f(2)=2(2)^{2}=8$ $d.$ $(g\circ g)(0)=g[g(0)]$ $g(0)=1-3(0)^{2}=1$ $g[g(0)]=g(1)=1-3(1)^{2}=-2$
