Math Problem Statement

h(g(x))

Solution

The expression h(g(x))h(g(x)) represents the composition of two functions, where the function hh is applied to the result of the function g(x)g(x).

In more detail:

  • First, you evaluate g(x)g(x), which gives some output.
  • Then, you take this output and use it as the input for the function hh.

Mathematically: h(g(x))=h(y), where y=g(x).h(g(x)) = h(y), \text{ where } y = g(x). The result depends on the specific definitions of hh and gg. If you provide the formulas for h(x)h(x) and g(x)g(x), I can give you the exact result.

Would you like to provide those functions, or is there something more specific you're asking about?

Here are 5 related questions that could expand on this:

  1. What are the specific forms of h(x)h(x) and g(x)g(x)?
  2. How do you differentiate a composite function like h(g(x))h(g(x))?
  3. What are the properties of composite functions?
  4. How do you find the inverse of a composite function?
  5. What happens when you compose the same function multiple times, like h(h(x))h(h(x))?

Tip: When differentiating composite functions, remember to use the chain rule!
