Answer

x6\frac{x}{6}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Use the definition of composite functions.

    Given f∘g(x)=x+23f \circ g(x) = \frac{x+2}{3} and g(x)=2x+5g(x) = 2x+5.
    The notation f∘g(x)f \circ g(x) means f(g(x))f(g(x)).
    So, we have:

    f(g(x))=x+23f(g(x)) = \frac{x+2}{3}
  2. Substitute the expression for g(x)g(x) into the equation.

    f(2x+5)=x+23f(2x+5) = \frac{x+2}{3}
  3. Find the expression for f(x)f(x).

    Let u=2x+5u = 2x+5. We need to express xx in terms of uu.

    u=2x+5u = 2x+5 u−5=2xu-5 = 2x x=u−52x = \frac{u-5}{2}

    Now substitute this expression for xx into the equation for f(2x+5)f(2x+5):

    f(u)=(u−52)+23f(u) = \frac{\left(\frac{u-5}{2}\right)+2}{3}

    Simplify the numerator:

    f(u)=u−5+423f(u) = \frac{\frac{u-5+4}{2}}{3} f(u)=u−123f(u) = \frac{\frac{u-1}{2}}{3} f(u)=u−16f(u) = \frac{u-1}{6}

    Replacing uu with xx, we get the function f(x)f(x):

    f(x)=x−16f(x) = \frac{x-1}{6}
  4. Find the value of f(x+1)f(x+1).

    Substitute (x+1)(x+1) into the expression for f(x)f(x):

    f(x+1)=(x+1)−16f(x+1) = \frac{(x+1)-1}{6} f(x+1)=x6f(x+1) = \frac{x}{6}

    The value of f(x+1)f(x+1) is x6\boxed{\frac{x}{6}}.
