=# 8x^2 -2x - 36#

Explanation:

#f(x) = 2x^2 + 11X -21#
#g(x) = 2x - 3#

Substitute the value of #g(x)# into the #f(x)# function .
#f(g(x)) = 2(2x -3)^2 +11(2x - 3) -21 #

= # 2( 4x^2 -12x + 9) + (22x - 33) -21#

= #( 8x^2 -24x + 18) + (22x - 33) -21#

=# 8x^2 -24x + 22x - 33 -21+ 18#

=# 8x^2 -2x - 36#
