Nested Functions
CONCEPTS
Tips
• When functions are nested, start inside and work outwards
Nested Function Notations
• f (g (x) [standard notation]
• (f ∘ g)(x) = f (g (x))
• (f * g)(x) = (fg)(x) = f(x) * g(x)
Inverse of a Function
• To solve for f⁻¹ (x), replace y with x & x with y
PRACTICE PROBLEMS
Question 1 What is f(g(x)) if g(x) = x - 3 & f(x) = x² + x?
-- Answer -- x² - 5x + 6
(x - 3)² + (x - 3) = x² - 5x + 6
