What is a composite function?

Apply 1 function, then another to result

In the notation g∘fg \circ f, which function is applied first?

ff is applied first

For g∘fg \circ f to exist, what condition must be met?

ran f⊆f \subseteq dom gg

What is the domain of g∘fg \circ f?

dom ff

Is function composition commutative (does f∘g=g∘ff \circ g = g \circ f)?

No, order matters

If f(x)=2x−1f(x) = 2x - 1 and g(x)=x2g(x) = x^2, what is g∘f(x)g \circ f(x)?

g∘f(x)=(2x−1)2g \circ f(x) = (2x - 1)^2

Given g(x)=2x−1,x∈Rg(x) = 2x - 1, x \in \mathbb{R} and f(x)=x,x≥0f(x) = \sqrt{x}, x \geq 0, which is defined?

Only g∘fg \circ f

Why might f∘gf \circ g not be defined?

ran gg not subset of dom ff

What does g(f(x))g(f(x)) mean?

Apply ff to xx, then gg to result

Why restrict a function's domain when creating composites?

To make range fit next function's domain
