Given: f(x) = 2x + 5 and g(x) = x2 and h(x) = -2x h(g(f(x))) = x² + x +

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanding and solving for brackets.

Distributing -2 to the terms in the brackets.

-8x^2 - 40x - 50

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x + 5

g(x) = x^2

h(x) = -2x

h(g(f(x))) =

First find g(f(x))

g(f(x)) = (2x+5) ^2 = 4x^2 + 10x + 10x +25

                            = 4x^2 + 20x + 25

The stick this in for g(f(x)

h(g(f(x))) = -2 (4x^2 + 20x + 25)

             = -8x^2 - 40x - 50
