Composite Functions
Examples, worksheets, solutions, and activities to help PreCalculus students learn about composite functions.
What is a Composite Function?
Given two functions f and g, the composite function denoted by f ○ g.
This is read as “f composed with g” or “f of g”
f ○ g = (f ○ g)(x) = f(g(x))
This video defines a composite function and shows how to determine the value of a composite function and how to determine a composite function given two functions.
Learn how to calculate the compositions of two functions, including f(g(x)), g(f(x)), f(f(x)), and g(g(x)). Then describe the domain of each composite function.
