$f (x) = 1 - x$ , $g (x) = 2 x^{2} + x + 5$

Step 1

Set up the composite result function.

$f (g (x))$

Step 2

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

$f (2 x^{2} + x + 5) = 1 - (2 x^{2} + x + 5)$

Step 3.1

Apply the distributive property.

$f (2 x^{2} + x + 5) = 1 - (2 x^{2}) - x - 1 \cdot 5$

Step 3.2

Simplify.

Step 3.2.1

Multiply $2$ by $- 1$ .

$f (2 x^{2} + x + 5) = 1 - 2 x^{2} - x - 1 \cdot 5$

Step 3.2.2

Multiply $- 1$ by $5$ .

$f (2 x^{2} + x + 5) = 1 - 2 x^{2} - x - 5$

Step 4

Subtract $5$ from $1$ .

$f (2 x^{2} + x + 5) = - 2 x^{2} - x - 4$
