It may be easier to see the composition if you write $\tan^2x=\left(\tan x\right)^2$.

Here, the inside function $(g(x))$ is $\tan x$, and the outside function $(f(x))$ is $x^2$. So, $f(g(x))=f(\tan x)=\tan^2x$, like you wanted.

Are you supposed to find $f(x)+g(x)$ ?

I am to define f(x) and g(x) I will input and verify

anonymous · Answer

No that did not work, I believe I am required to rewrite the original function Tan^2(x)=f(g(x)) in terms of f(x)= ? and g(x)= ? not sure just yet
