Compositions

Composition of functions

QuestionAnswer
If f(x)=x^2-8 and g(x)=3x find 1. (f+g)(x) Simply plug in your f(x) which is: x^2-8 and do the same with your g(x). After plugging them both in simplify the answer. Answer: (f+g)(x) = x^2+3x-8
If f(x)=x-6 and g(x)=2x+7 find 1. (f-g)(x) Just like the previous example you do the same exact thing but instead of adding the two functions you subtract them. Answer: (f-g)(x)=-x-13
If f(x)=x^2-8 and g (x)=3x find 1. (f * g)(x) The steps are the same for this question but it requires ,multiplication. Answer: 3x^3-24x
If f(x)=x-6 and g (x)=2x+7 find (f/g)(x) By now it should be fairly simple, for this problem you plug in the functions. Answer: x-6/2x+7
If f(x)=x^2-8+3 and g (x)=-3x find the following composition. (f of g)(3) (f of g)= 81+72 +3= 156 Answer:156
If g(x)=-9, h(x)=square root of x, find the composition. ( g of h)(0) By substituting the functions the answer will be 0. Answer: 0
Find (f of g)(x) and (g of f)(x) f(x)= abs x, g(x)=8x-10 Answer: (f of g)(x)= abs 8x-10 g(abs x)= 8 abs x -10
If f(x)= square root of x and g (x)=3x +7 find (f of g)(x) and (g of f) (x) Answer: (f of g)(x)= square root 3x+7 (g of f)(x)= 3 square root x +7
If f(x)=6x, g(x)=square root of x and h(x)=x^2+10, write H(x)= square root of x^2+10 as composition using two of the given functions. For this problem you would have to look at which function corresponds. Answer: H(x)=(g of h)(x)
Let g(x)=x-10 find f(x) so that h(x)=(f of g)(x) h(x)=(x-10)^2 Answer: f(x)=x^2
Refresh Question: If f(x)^2=x^2+10 and g(x)=6x, find a. (f+g)(x) b. (f-g)(x) c.(f*g)(x) d.(f/g)(x) Answers: a. x^2+6x+10 b.x^2-6x+10 c. 6x^3+60x d. x^2+10/6x

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
