$f (x) = 4 x^{2} + 3 x + 5$ , $g (x) = 3 x - 7$

Step 1

Set up the composite result function.

$g (f (x))$

Step 2

Evaluate $g (4 x^{2} + 3 x + 5)$ by substituting in the value of $f$ into $g$ .

$g (4 x^{2} + 3 x + 5) = 3 (4 x^{2} + 3 x + 5) - 7$

Step 3

Step 3.1

Apply the distributive property.

$g (4 x^{2} + 3 x + 5) = 3 (4 x^{2}) + 3 (3 x) + 3 \cdot 5 - 7$

Step 3.2

Simplify.

Step 3.2.1

Multiply $4$ by $3$ .

$g (4 x^{2} + 3 x + 5) = 12 x^{2} + 3 (3 x) + 3 \cdot 5 - 7$

Step 3.2.2

Multiply $3$ by $3$ .

$g (4 x^{2} + 3 x + 5) = 12 x^{2} + 9 x + 3 \cdot 5 - 7$

Step 3.2.3

Multiply $3$ by $5$ .

$g (4 x^{2} + 3 x + 5) = 12 x^{2} + 9 x + 15 - 7$

Step 4

Subtract $7$ from $15$ .

$g (4 x^{2} + 3 x + 5) = 12 x^{2} + 9 x + 8$
