Determine The Value Of Compound (Composite) Functions

                    Lesson 1

                                                                                                                                                                          

                                                            Problem:                   Using  f(x) = x + 3  and  g(x) = x + 2

 

Find, f(g(4))

 

                                                            Step 1:                    g(x) = x + 2; g(4) = 4 + 2 = 6

                             

                     

                                                                                Solution                          f(x) = x + 3; f(6) = 6 + 3 = 9

 Step 2:                        

 

                                                             Solution                    The answer is:  9

 Step 3:                                                                      

 Complete                                                                   

                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

                                                             Try two practice problems:  

 

                                                                                               Using  f(x) = x – 2  and  g(x) = x + 4

 

A.   Find g(f(1))

 

 

 

B.  Find (g o f)(x)
