What is a composite function?

Apply 1 function, then another to result

In the notation gfg \circ f, which function is applied first?

ff is applied first

For gfg \circ f to exist, what condition must be met?

ran ff \subseteq dom gg

What is the domain of gfg \circ f?

dom ff

Is function composition commutative (does fg=gff \circ g = g \circ f)?

No, order matters

If f(x)=2x1f(x) = 2x - 1 and g(x)=x2g(x) = x^2, what is gf(x)g \circ f(x)?

gf(x)=(2x1)2g \circ f(x) = (2x - 1)^2

Given g(x)=2x1,xRg(x) = 2x - 1, x \in \mathbb{R} and f(x)=x,x0f(x) = \sqrt{x}, x \geq 0, which is defined?

Only gfg \circ f

Why might fgf \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
