Study Notes
Composition of Functions Study Notes
-
Composition of Functions: A function composed of two functions combines their outputs. Denoted as (f * g)(x) or (g * f)(x), it evaluates one function using the output of another.
-
Example of Composition: For f(x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) = x² + 1, (f * g)(x) simplifies to 3(x² + 1) + 2, illustrating how to apply functions sequentially.
-
Range of Function Composition: When u(x) = -2x² + 3 and v(x) = 1/x, the range of (u * v)(x) is (-∞, 3), indicating limits on possible output values based on input values.
-
Evaluating Function Values: For h(x) = 6 - x, calculating (h * h)(10) results in 10, showing the function can be recursively applied.
-
Domain of Composed Functions: If the domain of f(x) excludes 7 and g(x) excludes -3, the domain of (g * f)(x) excludes both x = 7 and values for which f(x) = -3, combining restrictions from both functions.
-
Multiplication of Functions: Given p(x) = 2x² - 4x and q(x) = x - 3, (p * q)(x) results in 2x² - 16x + 30, showing how to expand function products.
-
Calculating Composite Function Values: For h(x) = x - 7 and g(x) = x², (g * h)(5) leads to expression (5 - 7)², demonstrating the process for specific input evaluations.
-
Composite Function Outputs: For f(x) = x² + 1 and g(x) = x - 4, the evaluation of (f * g)(10) gives 37, highlighting input-specific outputs based on function definitions.
-
Understanding Domains in Composition: The domain of (g * f)(x) is defined by the inputs of f(x) for which g(f(x)) remains valid.
-
Expanded Form in Composition: When s(x) = x - 7 and t(x) = 4x² - x + 3, the equivalent expression for (t * s)(x) is 4(x - 7)² - (x - 7) + 3, displaying function expression manipulation.
-
Reciprocal Function Composition: With h(x) = 5 + x and k(x) = 1/x, the composition (k * h)(x) translates to 1/(5 + x), reflecting the application of reciprocal functions.
