Function Composition and Expressions

The video tutorial explains how to find and simplify composite functions f(g(x)) and g(f(x)) using given function rules. It starts with defining the functions f(x) = x - 5 and g(x) = 3x^2 - 4x. The tutorial then demonstrates the process of substituting and simplifying these functions to find the composite functions. The video provides step-by-step instructions for both f(g(x)) and g(f(x)), highlighting the importance of substitution and simplification in solving composite functions.

What is the expression for f(x) given in the video?

• x + 5

• 2x - 5

• 3x^2 - 4x

• x - 5
