Plug everything in and simplify. Just fitting the formula shown and some algebra steps.

Here is the raw unsimplified form:



Examine that expression to see how it is made.
The numerator is the composition as shown in that part for h(x).
The denominator is as shown in that other part of .

The most important thing to be able is to form that expression for h(x) as defined. The next thing to do is to simplify that expression.
