Evaluating Composite Functions

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate composite functions using a table of values, a graph, and a function rule. It provides three examples: calculating G(f(-2)), F(G(2-1)), and H(F(1)-3). Each example demonstrates the process of determining inner function values and using them to find the composite function value. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the relationship between input and output values in different representations.

What are the three representations used to evaluate composite functions in this tutorial?

• Table, graph, and function rule

• Equation, graph, and table

• Table, list, and equation

• Graph, equation, and list
