Can someone explain how to do functions like (f ◦ g)(x) ?

OpenStudy (allank):

What you have there is called function composition. It implies f[g(x)]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

g(f(x))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we do first f with respect to x and then g with respect to f(x)

OpenStudy (allank):

@moha_10 isn't it the other way around?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i dnt think so

OpenStudy (allank):

I think it is http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/Alg/CombineFunctions.aspx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay sorry and thx for let me know the right answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It should be \[(f ◦ g)(x) = f(g(x))\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So... you could replace the x's in f with whatever g is, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

@moha_10 We're all here to learn =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THis is called the composition of functions :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright c: thank you people!
