To find (g∘g∘g)(4), we first need to understand the composition of f with itself, i.e., (f∘f)(x)=f(f(x))=g(x). We can then repeatedly apply g to get the given expression.
First, let's calculate (f∘f)(x)=g(x):
g(x)=(f∘f)(x)=f(f(x))
=f(6x−44x+3)
To evaluate this expression, we substitute 6x−44x+3 for x in the function f(x):
g(x)=f(6x−44x+3)=6(6x−44x+3)−44(6x−44x+3)+3
Now, we simplify the expression:
g(x)=6(4x+3)−4(6x−4)4(4x+3)+3(6x−4)
=24x+18−24x+1616x+12+18x−12
=3434x
=x
So, g(x)=x for all x in the domain of g , which is R−{32} . It's important to note that the domain restriction is preserved through the composition because f(x) has a vertical asymptote at x=32 which doesn't intersect the graph.
So, g(x) is the identity function on its domain, which means that applying g any number of times will result in the same input for x in the given domain. Hence, we have:
(g∘g∘g∘g)(4)=g(g(g(g(4))))=g(g(g(4)))=g(g(4))=g(4)=4
This corresponds to option D, which is 4 .
