Explanation
## Step 1: Analyze the Composite Function### The given composite function
suggests that the inner function
is likely related to the expression
. The outer function
then operates on the result of
. We can see that the outer function squares the output of
, multiplies it by 4, and then adds 1.## Step 2: Define f(x)### Let
. This corresponds to the inner expression within the composite function.## Step 3: Define g(x)### Let
. This corresponds to the operations performed on the output of
.## Step 4: Verify the Composite Function### Substitute
into
:
. This matches the given composite function, confirming our choices for
and
.
