Question 365614: I was given a question asking the f(g(x). How would I solve a problem like this?
There is obviously a equation given for both but for the sake of my question you can give me a example so it will be easier for you and me to understand.

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