Math Problem Statement
Consider two functions f(x) and g(x). When we create a composition of these two functions, there will be one 'inside' function and one 'outside' function. Given the compositions in the table below, answer each question. Select Option A or Option B.
Solution
The image you've uploaded contains a table related to the composition of two functions, and , with questions on identifying the inside function and determining the equivalent expressions for function compositions.
Let me break down the content:
Row 1:
- The question asks for the inside function of .
- Answer: The inside function is , as it is the function applied first in this composition.
Row 2:
- The question asks for the inside function of (composition notation).
- Answer: Again, the inside function is , as it is the function applied first.
Row 3:
- The question asks which expression is equivalent to when and .
- To find the equivalent expression, substitute into . So, .
- Answer: The equivalent expression is .
Would you like further clarification or have any questions on this? Here's a few related questions to explore:
- How would you differentiate the composition of functions?
- What happens when the inside and outside functions are the same?
- Can you solve for in a function composition?
- How do we find the domain of a function composition?
- How can we apply this concept to real-world problems, such as physics or economics?
Tip: When working with function compositions, always identify which function is inside and which is outside to avoid mistakes in substitution!
