Write, as single function, gf(x) in terms of x.

f(x)=2x-1 g(x)=3/x+1

To write this as a single function you simply substute the f(x) function for the 'x' terms in the g(x) function.

Here's an example to illustrate: if f(x) = 3x+2, and g(x) = sin(x), then g(f(x)) = sin(3x+2). Can you take it from here?

Look I can't solve the specific problem if you can't help then don't bother trying! The problem you have showed me is the there way round which is much easier! So if you want me not to mark your answer as unhelpful then answer with something helpful. Thanks mate!
