Define the functions f(x)=x2+1,g(x)=4x−3,f(x)=x^{2}+1,\qquad g(x)=4x-3, where x∈Rx\in\mathbb R. Answer the following questions regarding the composite (g∘f)(x)(g\circ f)(x). a. (i) Calculate (g∘f)(2)(g\circ f)(2). b. (ii) Verify whether (g∘f)(−2)(g\circ f)(-2) is defined and, if so, find its value. c. (iii) For a general real number kk, write a single algebraic expression for (g∘f)(k)(g\circ f)(k). Simplify your result.
