Math Problem Statement

(a) f ° g (b) f^3
(c) f ° h

Solution

Let's define the problem step by step for better clarity. In your notation:

  1. fgf \circ g typically denotes the composition of functions ff and gg, meaning (fg)(x)=f(g(x))(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x)).
  2. f3f^3 typically refers to the function ff applied to itself three times: f3(x)=f(f(f(x)))f^3(x) = f(f(f(x))).
  3. fhf \circ h is the composition of functions ff and hh, meaning (fh)(x)=f(h(x))(f \circ h)(x) = f(h(x)).

To fully proceed with solving these or providing specific examples, I'd need the definitions of f(x)f(x), g(x)g(x), and h(x)h(x).

Would you like to provide the specific functions for ff, gg, and hh or have any clarifications?

Here are 5 related questions for deeper understanding:

  1. How do you define the functions ff, gg, and hh?
  2. What are the domains and ranges of the functions you're working with?
  3. Do you want to expand the composition to see the results for a specific input?
  4. Would you like to explore the properties of function composition (e.g., associativity)?
  5. How does fnf^n behave for higher powers or iterated function applications?

Tip: In function composition fgf \circ g, the order matters. f(g(x))f(g(x)) is generally different from g(f(x))g(f(x)).
