f@g(x)=3x^2+4
g@f(x)=9x^2-12x+6

Explanation:

Given:

g(x)=x^2+2
f(x)=3x-2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

f@g(x)

Where ever there is an x in f(x) write x^2+2

f(color(red)(x))=3color(red)(x)-2" "->" "3(color(red)(x^2+2))-2

" "->" "3x^2+4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
g@f(x)

Where ever there is an x in g(x) write 3x-2

g(color(red)(x))=color(red)(x)^2+2" "->" "(color(red)(3x-2))^2+2

" "->" "9x^2-12x+4+2

" "->" "9x^2-12x+6

f (g(x)) = 3x^2 +4 ,
g (f(x)) = 9x^2-12x+6

Explanation:

f(x) = 3x-2 ; g(x) =x^2+2
f (g(x)) = f (x^2+2) =3 (x^2+2) -2= 3x^2 +4

g (f(x)) = g(3x-2) = (3x-2)^2 +2 = 9x^2 -12 x +4 +2 = 9x^2-12x+6 [Ans]
