Activity: Evaluate the following composition of functions. Given : f(x) = 2x + 1 & g(x) = 5x 2 (𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) (𝑔 ∘𝑓)(𝑥)
Activity: Evaluate the following composition of functions. Given : f(x) = 2x + 1 g(x) = 5x 2 (𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) (𝑔 ∘𝑓)(𝑥) Output Presentation
Activity: Evaluate the following composition of functions. Given : f(x) = 2x + 1 g(x) = 5x 2 (𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) (𝑔 ∘𝑓)(𝑥 )
Question: How to solve composite functions?
Try these: Evaluate the following composition of functions. Given : 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 1 ; g(x) = 5x 2 ; ℎ(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 3 (g ∘ h)(𝑥) (f ∘ h)(𝑥)
Answer: Evaluate the following composition of functions. Given : 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 1 ; g(x) = 5x 2 ; ℎ(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 3 (g ∘ h)(𝑥) (f ∘ h)(𝑥)
Assignment: Express each situation as a function of the variable being described. Let x represent the price of a book. Give a function f that represents the price of the book if a P100 price reduction applies. Give a function g that represents the price of the book if a 10% discount applies. Compute (𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) and (𝑔 ∘ 𝑓)(𝑥). Describe what these mean. Which of these give a better deal for the customer?
