Expand and simplify (3x^2 + 2)(2x + 5) – 6x(x^2 – 3)

First, multiply out 6x(x^2 - 3) so that it becomes – 6x^2 – 18xThen, multiply (3x^2 + 2) and (2x + 5) so that it becomes 6x^3 + 15x^2 + 4x + 10Add the two results above: 6x^3 + 15x^2 + 4x + 10 – 6x^3 – 18x Simplify it: x^3(6-6) + x^2(15) + x(4-18) +10 ==> 15x^2 –14x + 10

f is a function such that f(x)=2/(3x-3) Find the inverse function and ff^-1


The functions f and g are defined on R , the set of real numbers by f(x) = x^2 - 5x +2, and g(x) = 1 - x. Find h(x) = f(g(x)), and j(x) = g(f(x)).
