If (p(x)=4x+3), what is the value of (p(p(0)))?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 15
First evaluate the inner function: \(p(0)=4(0)+3=3\). Then substitute this result into \(p\): \(p(p(0))=p(3)=4(3)+3=15\). Option 12 is only \(4\times3\), which misses the constant term 3. Exam tip: in a composite function, always evaluate the innermost function first.
