An intuitive way to approach this problem would be to directly replace x with g ( x ) in f ( x ) to get
f ∘ g ( x ) = ln ( 1 − g ( x ) 1 + g ( x ) )
which upon some algebraic manipulations gives
f ∘ g ( x ) = ln ( 1 − x 1 + x ) 3 = 3 ln ( 1 − x 1 + x ) = 3 f ( x )
Another way to approach this is by hyperbolic trigonometry and the inverse hyperbolic trigonometry . Ponder over how are these functions related to them.
Quite easy one brother. But good problem!

I know it's a fairly easy one. Try once to approach this via hyperbolic trigonometry.

f ( x ) ⟹ f ( g ( x ) ) = ln ( 1 − x 1 + x ) = ln ( 1 − g ( x ) 1 + g ( x ) ) = ln ( 1 − 1 + 3 x 2 3 x + x 3 1 + 1 + 3 x 2 3 x + x 3 ) = ln ( 1 + 3 x 2 − 3 x − x 3 1 + 3 x 2 + 3 x + x 3 ) = ln ( ( 1 − x ) 3 ( 1 + x ) 3 ) = ln ( 1 − x 1 + x ) 3 = 3 ln ( 1 − x 1 + x ) = 3 f ( x )
