LEARNING OBJECTIVES
A. Preliminary Activities:
1) Greetings
2) Classroom Management
B. Review:
Recall the different functions discussed during their Junior High School. (Show the
graphs of different types of functions.)
Evaluation of function
C. Lesson Proper:
Can you think of real world situations where you would input something into a machine and get a
different output?
For example, a toaster is a machine. When bread is input in the machine the output is toast.
In the table below list at least two machines along with their inputs and outputs.
Input Machine Output
bread toaster toast
ACTIVITY
Composition of Functions Relay (Chain Reaction)
ANALYSIS
Discuss the fact that they have just evaluated the composition of functions.
Definition:
The term "composition of functions" (or "composite function") refers
to the combining of functions in a manner where the output from one function
becomes the input for the next function.
In math terms, the range (the y-value answers) of one function becomes
the domain (the x-values) of the next function.
