Answer:
[tex]h(g(f(x)))(x) = -8x^2-40x-50[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]f(x) = 2x + 5[/tex]
[tex]g(x)=x^2[/tex]
[tex]h(x)=-2x[/tex]
[tex]h(g(f(x)))[/tex], first replace f(x) with 2x+5
[tex]h(g(2x+5))[/tex]
Replace 2x+5 for x in g(x). [tex]g(2x+5)=(2x+5)^2= (2x+5)(2x+5)= 4x^2+20x+25[/tex]
[tex]h(g(2x+5))[/tex] becomes [tex]h(4x^2+20x+25)[/tex]
Replace x with 4x^2+20x+25 in h(x)
[tex]h(4x^2+20x+25)=-2(4x^2+20x+25)=-8x^2-40x-50[/tex]
