If f(x) = x2 + 1 and g(x) = x – 4, which value is equivalent to (f circle g) (10)? 37 97 126 606

A. 37

Step-by-step explanation:

(fxg) (10)

Step 1.  G is the second letter, so we first use the equation g(x) = x-4

Step 2.  Plug in ten for x.   g(x) = 10-4

Step 3.  ten minus four is six.  g(x) = 6

Step 4.  Now the new x is 6 and we use the second equation next.

f(x) = x^2 + 1

Step 5.  Plug in six for x. f(x) = 6^2 + 1

Step 6.  six to the power of two is 36. f(x) = 36 + 1

Step 7.  36 plus one is 37. f(x) = 37

Step 8.  Answer is thirty seven
