3 Composite Function

Example 1:
𝑓(𝑥 ) = 2𝑥 − 1
𝑔(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 + 5
Find
a) 𝑓𝑔(𝑥 )
b) 𝑔𝑓 (𝑥 )
c) 𝑓 2 (𝑥 )
a) 𝑓𝑔(𝑥 ) = 𝑓(𝑥 2 + 5)
= 2( 𝑥 2 + 5) − 1
= 2𝑥 2 + 10 − 1
= 2𝑥 2 + 9
b) 𝑔𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑔(2𝑥 − 1)
= (2𝑥 − 1)2 + 5
= (2𝑥 − 1)(2𝑥 − 1) + 5
= 4𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 1 + 5
= 4𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 6
c) 𝑓 2 (𝑥 ) = 𝑓𝑓 (𝑥 )
= 𝑓(2𝑥 − 1)
= 2(2𝑥 − 1) − 1
= 4𝑥 − 2 − 1
= 4𝑥 − 3
Example 2:
𝑓(𝑥 ) = 2𝑥 + 3
𝑔(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − 1
Find 𝑓𝑔(2)
𝑓𝑔(2) = 𝑓 (𝑥 2 − 1)
= 2( 22 − 1 ) + 3
= 2(3) + 3
=9
Question 2
𝑓(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − 1
𝑔(𝑥 ) = 2𝑥 + 3
Find 𝑔𝑓 (5)

= 2(24) + 3
= 51
Question 3
𝑓(𝑥 ) = (𝑥 + 2)2 − 1
Find 𝑓 2 (3)
𝑓 2 (3) = 𝑓𝑓(𝑥 )
= 𝑓[(𝑥 + 2)2 − 1]
2
= [[(𝑥 + 2)2 − 1] + 2] − 1
2
= [[(3 + 2)2 − 1] + 2] − 1
= (24 + 2)2 − 1
= 262 − 1
