Function Composition

Function Inputs & Outputs

When you see something like f(g(x)) or (f∘g)x, you have function composition.

First off, think of handling functions like doing a find & replace.

When we have a function like f(x)=4x2+6x+5, plugging an input in for x means finding & replacing every x with the input value. For example, if our input is 3, we find & replace to get:

f(x)=4(x)2+6(x)+5

⬇️

f(3)=4(3)2+6(3)+5

And you have to make sure you replace every x. It's like how they had to replace every creepy Sonic with the new, cute Sonic, otherwise the creepiness would still be there ☠️.

What is Function Composition?

The idea behind function composition is that instead of a number, another function acts as the input.

So, let's say we have these two functions:

f(x)g(x)​=4x2+6x+5=2x+1​

If we're asked for f(g(x)), then our input is g(x), and we need to replace every x in f(x) with g(x):

f(x)=4(x)2+6(x)+5

⬇️

f(g(x))=4(g(x))2+6(g(x))+5

And since we know that g(x)=2x+1, we can simplify f(g(x)) by using 2x+1 instead of g(x) on the right side:

f(g(x))=4(2x+1)2+6(2x+1)+5

And that's how we get f(g(x))!

Plugging in a Value

Now, if we're asked for f(g(3)) instead of f(g(x)), then we need to do another find & replace to replace every x in our new f(g(x)) equation with our input value of 3:

f(g(x))=4(2x+1)2+6(2x+1)+5

⬇️

f(g(3))=4(2(3)+1)2+6(2(3)+1)+5

Then we have all numbers on the right side of the equation, and we can just calculate to find our final answer of f(g(3))=

Graphing Function Composition

You might get the functions in graph forms, like this:

In this case, we use our graphs to find the function composition. Let's say we're asked for f(g(1)).

This means, first we need to find what g(1) is. Let's look at our graph for g(x) where our x=1:

Looking at the point on the line where x=1, we can see that the y value is 2. This means that g(1)=2.

Now, if we go back to our original composition of f(g(1)), we can replace g(1) with 2 to get f(g(1))=f(2).

Now, we just look at our graph of f(x) at the point where x=2:

Looking at the point on the line where x=2, we can see that the y value is 4. This means that f(2)=4.

So to review, to solve for f(g(1)), we first needed to find the value of g(1). Once we found that g(1)=2, we replaced g(1) with 2 to get:

f(g(1))=f(2)

Looking at the graph for f(x), we find:

f(g(1))=f(2)=4

Function Composition through Graphs

Let's say we're looking for f(g(3)).

Step 1: Find the inner value.

First, we use the graph for g(x) to find the value of g(3).

Step 2: Plug in the inner value.

Next, we plug in the value we found into the composition. Let's say we found that our value was 2. We plug that into our composition to replace g(3) to get f(g(3))=f(2).

Step 3: Find the final value.

Finally, we use the graph for f(x) to find the value of f(2). Once we do that, we're done!

❖ Function Notation ❖

Function Notation . . . f(x)

Background -why the Function Notation symbol is used . . .

Symbols are used as aconcise way of giving lengthy instructions

related to numbers and logic.

Math Symbols are a communication tool. Symbols are an invention which is used to eliminate the need to write long, plain language instructions to describe calculations and other processes.

The most valuable, most frequently used Symbols in
mathematics . . .
:

The most important, most frequently used Miscellaneous symbols are listed below.

Math Notation for the "Function" of x -

"Top of Page"

The Function Notation f(x) means two things:

(1)f(x) literally means that the value of f(x) depends upon the value of x.

And . . .

(2) For every value of x, there is only one unique value f(x).

f(x) is often used interchangeably with y.

Most of the time this is OK, but y is not the same as f(x).

f(x) is a function. f(x) always satisfies both of the criteria listed as (1) and (2), shown above.

Y may or may not represent a function. It may only satisfy the criteria listed as (1).

Example 1:   f(x), function of x (can be used interchangeably with the y in this example)

y = x + 1

f(x) = x + 1

if x = 4

y = 4 + 1

y = 5

f(4) = 4 + 1

f(4) = 5

Note: both y and f(x) represent a function. Both notations satisfy the criteria for (1) and (2) above.

Note: both y
and f(x) = 5.

Example 2:   y, the following relation is not a function

Note: there are two values of y for every value of x. A function can have only one value of y for each value of x. Therefore, this is not a function.

Online Domain and Range Calculator

WolframAlpha

More than just an online function properties finder

Wolfram|Alpha is a great tool for finding the domain and range of a function. It also shows plots of the function and illustrates the domain and range on a number line to enhance your mathematical intuition.

Tips for entering queries

Enter your queries using plain English. To avoid ambiguous queries, make sure to use parentheses where necessary. Here are some examples illustrating how to ask for the domain and range.

What is domain and range?

The domain of a function, , is most commonly defined as the set of values for which a function is defined. For example, a function that is defined for real values in has domain , and is sometimes said to be "a function over the reals." The set of values to which is sent by the function is called the range.

Informally, if a function is defined on some set, then we call that set the domain. The values taken by the function are collectively referred to as the range. For example, the function takes the reals (domain) to the non-negative reals (range). The sine function takes the reals (domain) to the closed interval (range). (Both of these functions can be extended so that their domains are the complex numbers, and the ranges change as well.)
