1.3 Composite Function

Composite Function

If function f : X ↦ Y ,
and function g : Y ↦ Z ,
hence, composite function g f : X ↦ Z


Example:
If, f : x ↦ 2 x + 5 and g : x ↦ x 2 − 1 , find g f ( 2 )

Answer:
f ( x ) = 2 x + 5 f ( 2 ) = 2 ( 2 ) + 5 = 9

g f ( 2 ) = g [ f ( 2 ) ] = g ( 9 )

g ( x ) = x 2 − 1 g f ( 2 ) = g ( 9 ) = 9 2 − 1 = 80
