I was given a question asking the f(g(x). How would I solve a problem like this? \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Think of f as a big fish that is eating g, which is a smaller fish,
\n" ); document.write( "which is eating \"x\", which is a worm.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Let f(x) = x^2
\n" ); document.write( "Let g(x) = x+1
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Then f(g(x)) = f(x+1) = (x+1)^2
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Similarly you could form g(f(x))
\n" ); document.write( "g(f(x)) = g(x^2) = x^2+1
\n" ); document.write( "======================================
\n" ); document.write( "More examples can be found using Google to search
\n" ); document.write( "for \"composition of functions\".
