------------
Find f(3) and g(3)
f(x) = x^2
Sub 3 for x
f(3) = 3^2 = 9
---
g(3) = 3 + 2 = 5
=====================
f(g(3)) = f(5) = 5^2 = 25
g(f(3)) = g(9) = 9 + 2 = 11
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x) = x^2
g(x) = x+2
f(g(x)) = (x+2)^2
g(f(x)) = x^2+2
f(3) = 3^2 = 9
g(f(3)) = 9+2 = 11
g(3) = 5
f(g(3)) = 5^2 = 25
what you are doing wih the composite function, you are replacing x with f(x)
example 1:
g(x) = x + 2
f(x) = x^2
f(g(x)) = (x+2)^2
what you did was replace the x in f(x) with g(x).
example 2:
f(x) = x^2
g(x) = x + 2
g(f(x)) = x^2 + 2
what you did was replace the x in g(x) with f(x)
here's a reference.

if you have any questions about how this is done, let me know and i'll explain further as best i can.
