  • A4x2+6x+1\displaystyle 4x^2+6x+1
  • Bx2+6x+1\displaystyle x^2+6x+1
  • C4x2−6x+1\displaystyle 4x^2-6x+1

Detailed Solution & Explanation

To find the composite function (f∘g)(x)=f(g(x))\displaystyle (f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x)), we substitute the expression for g(x)\displaystyle g(x) into f(x)\displaystyle f(x):
Given:
f(x)=x2+3x+1f(x) = x^2 + 3x + 1
g(x)=2x−3g(x) = 2x - 3

Substitute g(x)\displaystyle g(x) in place of x\displaystyle x in f(x)\displaystyle f(x):
f(g(x))=(2x−3)2+3(2x−3)+1f(g(x)) = (2x - 3)^2 + 3(2x - 3) + 1

**Step 1: Expand (2x−3)2\displaystyle (2x - 3)^2**:
(2x−3)2=4x2−12x+9(2x - 3)^2 = 4x^2 - 12x + 9

**Step 2: Expand 3(2x−3)\displaystyle 3(2x - 3)**:
3(2x−3)=6x−93(2x - 3) = 6x - 9

**Step 3: Combine and simplify all terms**:
f(g(x))=(4x2−12x+9)+(6x−9)+1f(g(x)) = (4x^2 - 12x + 9) + (6x - 9) + 1
f(g(x))=4x2+(−12x+6x)+(9−9+1)f(g(x)) = 4x^2 + (-12x + 6x) + (9 - 9 + 1)
f(g(x))=4x2−6x+1f(g(x)) = 4x^2 - 6x + 1

Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
