Answer: A. [tex]h(x)=16x^2-50x+38[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Francesca graphs the function [tex]f(x) =2x - 3[/tex], George graphs the function [tex]g(x) = 4x^2 -x - 1[/tex].
Harold graphs the function [tex]h(x) = g(f(x))[/tex].
i.e. [tex]h(x)=g(2x - 3)[/tex] [put value of f(x)]
[tex]=4(2x-3)^2-(2x-3)-1\\\\= 4((2x)^2-2(2x)(3)+3^2)-2x+3-1\ \ [(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2]\\\\= 4(4x^2-12x+9)-2x+2\\\\=16x^2-48x+36-2x+2\\\\=16x^2-50x+38[/tex]
So, Harold graph [tex]h(x)=16x^2-50x+38[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is A. [tex]h(x)=16x^2-50x+38[/tex]
