f(x)=ax^2 +bx+c g(x)=px+q f(g(x))=a(px+q)^2 +b(px+q)+c f(g(x))=ap^2 x^2 +p(2aq+b)x+aq^2 +bq+c=6x^2 −2x+3 ap^2 =6 p(2aq+b)=−2 aq^2 +bq+c=3 g(f(x))=p(ax^2 +bx+c)+q g(f(x))=pax^2 +pbx+pc+q=12x^2 −14x+6 pa=12 pb=−14 pc+q=6 12p=6 ⇒p=(1/2) ⇒a=24 (1/2)b=−14 ⇒b=−28 (1/2)(48q−28)=−2 ⇒q=(1/2) 24×(1/4)−28×(1/2)+c=3 ⇒c=11 (1/2)×11+(1/2)=6 ✓ f(x)=24x^2 −28x+11 g(x)=(x/2)+(1/2) f(2)=24×2^2 −28×2+11=51
