Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the image, the problem asks for the composition , which means applying the function to itself. Let's break it down.
Given:
- (though this isn't directly needed for the current problem).
We need to find:
Step-by-step solution:
- Start with .
- Now substitute into itself:
- Since , apply this to :
Thus, .
Let me know if you'd like more details or if you have any questions! Here are some related questions:
- What is if ?
- How would you compute ?
- What is the composition of ?
- How does the order of function composition affect the result?
- Can you generalize for different linear functions?
Tip: When working with function compositions, always start by evaluating the inner function first, then substitute the result into the outer function.
