The correct answer is: 3125

Given:

f1x=3x+22x+3

Now,

f2x=f1of1x

f2x=33x+22x+3+223x+22x+3+3

f2x=9x+6+4x+66x+4+6x+9

f2(x)=13x+1212x+13

f3x=313x+1212x+13+2213x+1212x+13+3

f3x=63x+6262x+63

f4x=363x+6262x+63+2263x+6262x+63+3

f4x=313x+312312x+313

f5x=1563x+15621562x+1563=ax+bbx+a

a+b=1563+1562=3125
