Question 35056: Hello,
My name is Kristin and my time for the college placement exam is approaching and I need help!!!!!so please help
f(a)=2a-1 and g(a)=a^2, then g(f(a))=?

I believe this is setup like a^2(2a-1), but then I get confused after this point. I don't know whether I should multiply them by each other and then pull out the a^2, which would bring back to the initial equation. I am lost.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE,
KRISTIN
