Math Problem Statement

f(g(x))

Solution

The expression f(g(x))f(g(x)) represents the composition of two functions, ff and gg. In this case, g(x)g(x) is substituted as the input for ff. Here's the general idea behind the composition of functions:

  • g(x)g(x) is evaluated first, giving some result.
  • That result is then used as the input for the function ff.

The exact form of f(g(x))f(g(x)) depends on the specific definitions of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x). If you have the explicit formulas for f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x), I can help calculate or simplify f(g(x))f(g(x)).

Do you want to provide those functions or continue with more details?

Here are some related questions:

  1. What happens when f(x)=x2f(x) = x^2 and g(x)=x+1g(x) = x + 1?
  2. How does the chain rule apply to f(g(x))f(g(x)) in calculus?
  3. Can you graph the composition of two functions?
  4. How do you decompose a complex function into a composition of simpler ones?
  5. What are the domain and range of a composite function?

Tip: When dealing with function composition, always work from the inside out—evaluate g(x)g(x) first before applying ff.
