Answer:

C. [tex]\displaystyle 4x^2 - 20x + 26[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\displaystyle [2x - 5]^2 + 1 = [2x - 5][2x - 5] + 1 = 4x^2 - 20x + 25 + 1 = 4x^2 - 20x + 26[/tex]

In compositional functions, you always take the function inside parentheses FIRST, inputting that into the second function for every x visible.
