1.8 Composite
Functions
Essential Question:
What does f(g(x)) mean?




                          1
1.8 Combination of Functions: Composite
Functions

  Given: f(x) and g(x)
   (f+g)(x) = f + g = f(x) + g(x)

   (f-g)(x) = f - g = f(x) - g(x)

   (f∙ g)(x) = fg = f(x) ∙ g(x)

   (f/g)(x) = f/g = f(x) ÷ g(x); g(x) ≠ 0



                                            2
Ex. 1) Given f(x) and g(x), find f ­ g and f/g.




                                                  3
Composite Functions­

 (f o g)(x) = f(g(x))   Plug g(x) into f.




 (g o f)(x) = g(f(x))   Plug f(x) into g.




                                            4
Ex. 2) Find f(g(x)) and g(f(x)).
