Solution Steps

Step 1: Define g(x) g(x)

Let g(x)=x+8 g(x) = x + 8 . This transformation shifts the input x x by 8, simplifying the expression we need to work with.

Step 2: Define f(x) f(x)

Let f(x)=6x4 f(x) = \frac{6}{x^4} . This function is designed to take the output of g(x) g(x) and produce the desired result when composed with g(x) g(x) .

Step 3: Compute the Composition

Now, we compute the composition f(g(x)) f(g(x)) : f(g(x))=f(x+8)=6(x+8)4 f(g(x)) = f(x + 8) = \frac{6}{(x + 8)^4} This matches the required expression 6(x+8)4 \frac{6}{(x + 8)^{4}} , confirming that our choices for f(x) f(x) and g(x) g(x) are correct.

Final Answer

f(x)=6x4g(x)=x+8 \begin{array}{l} f(x) = \frac{6}{x^4} \\ g(x) = x + 8 \end{array}
