Question 1171362: Express the given function h as a composition of two functions f and g so that h(x)=(fog)(x) where one of the functions is 8x-9.
h(x)=(8x-9)^2
f(x) = ?
g(x) = ?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
g(x)=8x-9
f(x)=x^2
so f (g(x))= h(x) is (8x-9)^2, putting g(x) as the value of x in f(x) and then squaring it.
