Final: Inside and Out

Part of the Functions & Transformations section of Coddy's Algebra 2 journey. Lesson 51 of 55.

This problem uses two functions, f(x)=2x+1f\left(x\right) = 2x+1 and g(x)=x2g\left(x\right) = {x}^{2}. Compose them both ways, g inside f and f inside g, and subtract the second composition from the first. Write the result as one expression, multiplied out and collected.

Challenge

For f(x)=2x+1f\left(x\right) = 2x+1 and g(x)=x2g\left(x\right) = {x}^{2}, simplify f(g(x))−g(f(x))f\left(g\left(x\right)\right)-g\left(f\left(x\right)\right) into one expanded expression.

Try it yourself

f(g(x))−g(f(x))f\left(g\left(x\right)\right)-g\left(f\left(x\right)\right)

Expand: multiply everything out

Givenf(x)=2x+1f\left(x\right) = 2x+1g(x)=x2g\left(x\right) = x^{2}
