(g+k)(x)=g(x)+k(x) = x-3 + 2x = 3x-3(g+k)(x)=g(x)+k(x)=x3+2x=3x3

(hk)(x) = h(x)k(x) = (x^2-9)(2x) = 2x^3 - 18x (hk)(x)=h(x)k(x)=(x29)(2x)=2x318x

h(g(x)) = h( x-3) = (x-3)^2 -9 = x^2 - 6x h(g(x))=h(x3)=(x3)29=x26x

h(g(k(x))) = h(g(2x)) = (2x)^2 - 6(2x) = 4x^2 - 12 xh(g(k(x)))=h(g(2x))=(2x)26(2x)=4x212x

f(x)=xf(x)=x
g(x)=x-3g(x)=x3
h(x)=x^2-9h(x)=x29
k(x)=2*xk(x)=2x

Explanation:

1.
(g+k)(x)=g(x)+k(x)=(g+k)(x)=g(x)+k(x)=

=x-3+2*x=3*(x-1)=x3+2x=3(x1)

2.
(h*k)(x)=h(x)*k(x)(hk)(x)=h(x)k(x)

=(x^2-9)*(2*x)=2*x^3-18x=(x29)(2x)=2x318x

3.
h(g(x))=(g(x))^2-9=(x-3)^2-9=h(g(x))=(g(x))29=(x3)29=

=x^2-2*3*x+9-9=x^2-6*x=x223x+99=x26x

4.
We can use the) result of 3. replacing xx with k(x)k(x)

h(g(k(x)))=(k(x))^2-6*k(x)=(2*x)^2-6*2*x=h(g(k(x)))=(k(x))26k(x)=(2x)262x=

=4*x^2-12x=4x212x
