Answer

\[f\left( g\left[ h\left( 1 \right) \right] \right)=25\]

Work Step by Step

The value of the given composite function can be obtained using the definition of composite functions and the values of $f$, $g$ and $h$ at the required points. Now, $h\left( 1 \right)={{1}^{2}}+1+2=4$ , thus we have $\begin{align} & f\left( g\left[ h\left( 1 \right) \right] \right)=f\left( g\left[ 4 \right] \right) \\ & =f\left( 4\times 4-1 \right) \\ & =f\left( 15 \right) \end{align}$ Now simplify further to get, $\begin{align} & f\left( 15 \right)=2\left( 15 \right)-5 \\ & =25 \end{align}$
