Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
To find (g∘f)(x)(g \circ f)(x)(gf)(x) , we first apply f(x)f(x)f(x) and then apply g(x)g(x)g(x) to the result. So, we start with f(x)=4x+5f(x) = 4x + 5f(x)=4x+5 . Applying g(x)g(x)g(x) to this, we get g(f(x))=g(4x+5)=(4x+5)−2=4x+3g(f(x)) = g(4x + 5) = (4x + 5) - 2 = 4x + 3g(f(x))=g(4x+5)=(4x+5)2=4x+3 .
