Actually, they tell us we're working with composite functions.
- 00:30
To solve this problem, we need to plug h of n in for the n in the g of n equation:
- 00:37
to get 4 times the square root of n squared minus 9.
- 00:40
The square root of n squared simplifies to n...
- 00:44
so our equation becomes g of h of n equals 4n minus 9.
- 00:49
Looks like our answer's B.
