TopicComposite & Inverse Functions

3 Functions f and g are defined for \(x \in \mathbb { R }\) by $$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm { f } : x \mapsto 2 x + 3
& \mathrm {~g} : x \mapsto x ^ { 2 } - 2 x \end{aligned}$$ Express \(\operatorname { gf } ( x )\) in the form \(a ( x + b ) ^ { 2 } + c\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are constants.
