LECTURE 2 OF 4

TOPIC : 5.0 FUNCTIONS AND


GRAPHS

SUBTOPIC : 5.2 Composite Functions


LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the lesson, students
should be able to
a) represent a composite function using an
arrow diagram.
b) find composite function.
c) find one of the functions when the composite
and the other functions are given.
Consider two functions f(x) and g(x).
We define meaning that the
output values of the function g are used as the
input values for the function f.
This can be represented in an arrow diagram.

A B C
Note that ( f o g)(x) ≠ f(x)g(x)

Similarly, we define meaning that


the output values of the function f are used
as the input values for the function g.
This can be represented in an arrow diagram.

Example 1
The function f and g are defined by

Solution
Finding A Functions When The Composite
And The Other functions Are Given
If and either f(x) or g(x) are given, the
other function can be found be doing some
algebraic modification.

If and f(x) given, g(x) can be found by


substituting it into x of f(x) and then equating
with the given
If and g(x) given, f(x) can be found by
letting find f(u) and substituting x in
terms u. Later find f(x).
