Composition of Functions graphs

• EX: How to Find f(g(1)) = 6

• You will use BOTH graphs to arrive at the answer

• Work with inside function first, so go the "g" graph first and ACROSS to the input value x=1 and go UP to the find the output y-value (which is 3)

• That value 3 becomes the input for the outside function "f" so go ACROSS to input value x=3 on f and find the final output y-value (which is UP to 6)

Like (f+g)(5) or (f*g)(5)

Simply substitute the numbers in...usually easier to do so FIRST and then add, subtract, multiply or divide the answers.
