Division of Function:
When you divide two such functions together,
you get what is called a rational expression.
A rational expression is the division of two
polynomials. If they divide evenly, your answer
will become a polynomial.
Division of Function:
Polynomial long-division
Synthetic division
Composite Function:
f g xf [ g x]
This is read “f composition g” or “f composed
g” and means to copy the f function down but
where ever you see an x, substitute in the g
function.
