Understanding Composite Functions

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate composite functions using graphs. It begins by introducing the concept of functions and composite functions. The instructor demonstrates how to evaluate f(-5) by locating the corresponding point on the graph. This output is then used as the input for the function g, leading to the evaluation of g(f(-5)). The process is broken down into clear steps, making it easier to understand the concept of composite functions.

What are the two functions discussed in the video?

• y = f(x) and y = h(x)

• y = f(x) and y = g(x)

• y = g(x) and y = h(x)

• y = h(x) and y = j(x)
