Substitute \( g(x) = x^2 - x \) into \( f(x) \), so \( f(g(x)) = f(x^2 - x) = 3(x^2 - x) - 1 = 3x^2 - 3x - 1 \). Thus, \( (f \, ο \, g)(x) = 3x^2 - 3x - 1 \).
Add the functions: \( g(t) + f(t) = (2t + 5) + (-t^2 + 5) = -t^2 + 2t + 10 \). Thus, \( (g + f)(t) = -t^2 + 2t + 10 \).
First, evaluate \( h(2) \): \(-3(2) + 2 = -6 + 2 = -4\). Now, substitute this result into \( g(n) \), so \( g(-4) = (-4)^2 + 4 + 2(-4) = 16 + 4 - 8 = 12 \). Thus, \( (g \, ο \, h)(2) = 12 \).
Calculate \( f(4) \): \( 4(4) - 3 = 16 - 3 = 13 \). Next, calculate \( g(4) \): \( 4^3 + 2(4) = 64 + 8 = 72 \). The difference is \( 13 - 72 = -59 \). Hence, \( (f - g)(4) = -59 \).
First, calculate \( g(-4) = 2(-4) - 1 = -8 - 1 = -9 \). Then, calculate \( h(-4) = 3(-4) - 3 = -12 - 3 = -15 \). The product is \(-9 \times -15 = 135\). Therefore, \( (g \cdot h)(-4) = 135 \).
First, find \( f(2) = 2(2)^2 + 5 = 2(4) + 5 = 8 + 5 = 13 \). Then calculate \( g(13) = 3(13) + 2 = 39 + 2 = 41 \). Therefore, \( g(f(2)) = 41 \).
First, evaluate \( g(3) = 3(3) + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11 \). Then, evaluate \( f(3) = 2(3) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2 \). The division is \( 11/2 \). Thus, \( (g / f)(3) = 5.5 \).
Compute \( h(10) = 3(10) + 3 = 30 + 3 = 33 \) and \( g(10) = -4(10) + 1 = -40 + 1 = -39 \). The sum is \( 33 + (-39) = -6 \). Therefore, \( (h + g)(10) = -6 \).
Calculate \( g(n) - f(n) = (n^2 + 2n) - (2n - 3) = n^2 + 2n - 2n + 3 = n^2 + 3 \). Hence, the result is \( n^2 + 3 \).
Substitute \( g(t) = 2t + 2 \) into \( h(t) \), so \( h(g(t)) = h(2t + 2) = 2(2t + 2) + 1 = 4t + 4 + 1 = 4t + 5 \). Therefore, \( (h \, ο \, g)(t) = 4t + 5 \).
