I do not understand what the symbol is that looks like a multiplication symbol but is open like a miniature o. I looked in my book and found that it means something like (f o g)(x) = f(g(x)). Like here is an example problem...\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(f o h)(x),if f(x)=2x, g(x)=3x, and h(x)=4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or (f o g)(4), let f(x)=3x-2 and g(x)=x^2+x
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "It's what you stated.
\n" ); document.write( "(f o g) (x) = f(g(x))
\n" ); document.write( "Evaluate g(x), then use that value in f(x)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "(f o h)(x),if f(x)=2x, g(x)=3x, and h(x)=4
\n" ); document.write( "h(x) = 4
\n" ); document.write( "(f o h)(x) = f(4) = 8
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "or (f o g)(4), let f(x)=3x-2 and g(x)=x^2+x
\n" ); document.write( "g(4) = 40
\n" ); document.write( "f(20) = 58
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
