Unit 7: Combinations Rates of Change of Functions Lesson 3: Composite Functions Composite Functions You have likely encountered many situations in math where the result of one function is substituted into a second function A function that depends on another function is known as a composite function a function of a function If we have two functions, g(x) and f(x), this looks like: a g(a) f(g(a)) goes in to g(x) goes in to f(x) Notation If f(x) is a function of g(x), we denote this by: Both of these mean the same thing and are read as “f of g of x” Although we read the function left to
