SOLUTION: values of two functions (f) and (g) are listed below find the composite (f little circle g)(6). values for (f) [x=4 f(x)=7 ] for [x=5 f(x)=6] [for x=6 f(x)=5] [x=7 f(x)=4] v

Question 45851: values of two functions (f) and (g) are listed below find the composite (f little circle g)(6).
values for (f) [x=4 f(x)=7 ] for [x=5 f(x)=6] [for x=6 f(x)=5] [x=7 f(x)=4]
values for (g) [x=4 g(x)=6 ] for [x=5 g(x)=7] [for x=6 g(x)=4] [x=7 g(x)=5]
i know from my reading that the composite = f(g(x))
so does that mean i just go to the list and find what g(6)= which is 4.
to find my answer. is it that simple.

values of two functions (f) and (g) are listed below find the composite (f little circle g)(6).
values for (f) [x=4 f(x)=7 ] for [x=5 f(x)=6] [for x=6 f(x)=5] [x=7 f(x)=4]
values for (g) [x=4 g(x)=6 ] for [x=5 g(x)=7] [for x=6 g(x)=4] [x=7 g(x)=5]

f (g(6))= f(4)=7
Work these from right to left.
1st find g(6) which as you said is 4
Then find f(4) which you see is 7.
