5.6 Composition of functions

Front

What is a function composition?

Back

Function composition is the process of combining two functions, where the output of one function becomes the input of another. It is denoted as (f ∘ g)(x) = f(g(x)).

How do you denote the composition of functions f and g?

Back

The composition of functions f and g is denoted as (f ∘ g)(x) or g(f(x)).

What is the domain of a composite function?

Back

The domain of a composite function f(g(x)) is the set of all x in the domain of g such that g(x) is in the domain of f.

If h(x) = g(f(x)), what is the order of operations?

Back

In the composition h(x) = g(f(x)), you first apply f to x, and then apply g to the result of f(x).

What is the range of a composite function?

Back

The range of a composite function f(g(x)) is the set of all possible outputs of f for the outputs of g.

What is the significance of the order of functions in composition?

Back

The order of functions in composition matters because changing the order can lead to different results. (f ∘ g)(x) is not necessarily equal to (g ∘ f)(x).

How do you find the inverse of a composite function?

Back

To find the inverse of a composite function, you can use the property (f ∘ g)^{-1} = g^{-1} ∘ f^{-1}.
