What is function composition?

Back

Function composition is the process of applying one function to the results of another function. If you have two functions, f(x) and g(x), the composition is denoted as (f ∘ g)(x) = f(g(x)).

How do you find the sum of two functions?

Back

To find the sum of two functions f(n) and g(n), you add their outputs: (f + g)(n) = f(n) + g(n).

If f(n) = n^2 + 4n and g(n) = -n - 5, what is f(n) + g(n)?

Back

f(n) + g(n) = n^2 + 4n - n - 5 = n^2 + 3n - 5.

What does g(f(1)) mean?

Back

g(f(1)) means you first find f(1) and then use that result as the input for g.

If f(n) = 2n + 1 and g(n) = 3n, what is f(n) + g(n)?

Back

f(n) + g(n) = (2n + 1) + (3n) = 5n + 1.

What is the product of two functions?

Back

The product of two functions f(x) and g(x) is denoted as (f ⋅ g)(x) = f(x) * g(x).

If f(x) = 4x + 1 and g(x) = 5x - 2, what is (f ⋅ g)(x)?

Back

(f ⋅ g)(x) = (4x + 1)(5x - 2) = 20x^2 - 3x - 2.

What is the difference between f(g(x)) and g(f(x))?

Back

f(g(x)) means you apply g first and then f, while g(f(x)) means you apply f first and then g.

What is the identity function?

Back

The identity function is a function that always returns the same value that was used as its input. It is denoted as I(x) = x.
