for the given funtions f and g, find
(a) (f o g)(4) (b)(f o g)(2) (c)(f o f)(1)
f(x)=2x; g(x)=3-1/2x^2
solution:
(a) g(4)= 3-1/2(4)^2
= 3- 1 / 32
= 2
so, (f o g)(4)= f[g(4)]
= f[2]
= 2 x [2]
= 5
(b)g(2)= 3-1/2(2)^2
= 3-1/8
= 2
so,(f o g)(2)= f[g(2)]
= f[2]
= 2 x 2
= 5
(c)f(1)= 2(1)=2
so, (f o f)(1)= f[f(1)]
= f[2]
= 2(2)
= 4
