In this example $g (x)$ $g(x)$ becomes the input for $f (x)$ $f(x)$ . After all of the substitutions are made foil ${(4 x - 1)}^{2}$ $(4x-1)^2$ , distribute $3 (4 x - 1)$ $3(4x-1)$ and then combine the like terms.

$(f \circ g) (x)$ $(f@g)(x)$

$f (g (x))$ $f(g(x))$

$f (4 x - 1) = {(4 x - 1)}^{2} + 3 (4 x - 1) = 16 x^{2} - 8 x + 1 + 12 x - 3 = 16 x^{2} + 4 x - 2$ $f(4x-1)=(4x-1)^2+3(4x-1)=16x^2-8x+1+12x-3=16x^2+4x-2$
