You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There is no specific method for finding components of any function. The best way is to know which operation(s) you do first, and let that be g(x). For example,\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

, you could let

and

, then f(g(x)) = h(x).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "However, if

then the simplest way is to let\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

and

or something like that. \n" ); document.write( "
