Answer

$a.\quad-24$ $b.\quad 65$ $c.\quad 10x^{2}-3$ $d.\quad 50x^{2}+20x-5$

Work Step by Step

$(f\circ g)(x)=f[g(x)]=5[g(x)]+1$ $=5(2x^{2}-7)+1$ $=10x^{2}-35+1$ $=10x^{2}-34 \qquad ... \quad(c)$ $(f\circ g)(1)=10(1)^{2}-34=-24 \qquad ... \quad(a)$ $(g\circ f)(x)=g[f(x)]=2[f(x)]^{2}-7$ $=2(5x+1)^{2}-7$ $=2(25x^{2}+10x+1)-7$ $=50x^{2}+20x+2-7$ $=50x^{2}+20x-5 \qquad ... \quad(d)$ $(g\circ f)(1)=50(1^{2})+20(1)-5=65 \qquad ... \quad(b)$
