Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
The ring operator signifies a composition of functions. The composition is evaluated right-to-left. That means the composition ...
[tex](f\circ g)(x)[/tex]
should be interpreted to mean ...
[tex]f(g(x))[/tex]
___
To evaluate f(g(6)), we first evaluate g(6):
g(6) = 6² -5 = 31
Then we evaluate the function f using that as its argument:
f(31) = 31 -1 = 30
f(g(x)) = 30
