COMPOSITION OF FUNCTION

REVIEW:
GIVEN
F(X)=X + 4 K(X)= G(X)=2X-3

1. f[-2] What do we

2. f[5] call the values
3. k[5] written in red?
WHAT DO YOU OBSERVE ON THE INPUT OF THIS PROBLEM?

GIVEN
F(X)=X + 4 K(X)= G(X)=2X-3

4.f[g(x)]
IN COMPOSITE FUNCTION:

The input g(x) is ANOTHER

FUNCTION
f[g(x)] is called COMPOSITE
FUNCTION
f[g(x)]
can also be written as
(f ⃘ g)(x)read as f composed
g of x
 IN SHORT:

f[g(x)] =(f ⃘ g)(x)

or
(f ⃘ g)(x)= f[g(x)]
 GIVEN
F(X)=2X – 4 K(X)= G(X)=X+4

Procedure=2x+4
Solve f[g(x)] WRITE THE COMPOSITION NOTATION

(f ⃘ g)(x)= f[g(x)] COPY THE NEEDED FUNCTION

F(X)=2X-4
CHANGE X INTO G(X) .
f[g(x)]=2[g(x)]-4 CHANGE G(X) INTO X+4

f[x+4]=2[x+4]-4 DISTRIBUTE 2 TO X+4 . MULTIPLY

=2x+8-4 COMBINE 8-4

GIVEN THAT F(X)=3X+4 G(X)=X+2

SOLVE ( F)(x) Give the procedure

( F)(x) = G[F(X)] WRITE THE COMPOSITION NOTATION

G(X)=X+2 COPY THE NEEDED FUNCTION

G[F(X)]= [F(X)]+2 CHANGE X INTO F(X) .

G[3x+4]=3X+4+2 CHANGE F(X) INTO 3X+4

G[3x+4]=3X+6 COMBINE 4+2

GIVEN THAT F(X)=3X+4 G(X)=X+2

SOLVE ( G)(x) Give the procedure

F(X)=3X+4 COPY THE NEEDED FUNCTION

( G)(x) = F[G(X)] ALWAYS WRITE THE COMPOSITION NOTATION

F[G(X)]=3[G(X)]+4 CHANGE X INTO G(X) .

F[x+2]=3(X+2)+4 CHANGE G(X) INTO X+2

F[x+2]=3X+6+4 DISTRIBUTE 3 TO X+2 . MULTIPLY

F[x+2]=3X+10 COMBINE 6+4

GIVEN THAT F(X)=3X+4 G(X)=X+2

SOLVE ( F)(x) ( F)(x) = F[F(X)]

F(X)= 3X+4
F[F(X)]= 3[F(X)]+4
F[3x+4]=3(3X+4)+4
F[3x+4]=9X+12+4
F[3x+4]=9X+16
GIVEN THAT F(X)=3X+4 G(X)=X+2

SOLVE ( G)(x)
( G)(x) = G[G(X)]
G(X)= X+2
G[G(X)]=[G(X)]+2
G[x+2]=X+2+2
G[x+2]=X+4
GIVEN THAT F(X)=3X+4 G(X)=X+2

SOLVE ( G)(5)
( G)(5) = F[G(5)]
F(X)= 3X+4
F[G(5)]=3[G(5)]+4
F[5+2]=3[5+2]+4
F[7]=3(7)+4
F[7]=21+4
F[7)]=25
GIVEN THAT F(X)=3X+4 G(X)=X+2

SOLVE ( F)(4) ( F)(4) = G[F(4)]

G(X) = X+2
G[F(4)] =F(4)+2
G[3(4)+4]=3(4)+4+2
G[16] =16+2
G[16] =18
