Composite Functions : going backwards
Suppose we were given a function h(x) that was the result of a composite operation. How could we determine the two functions that were combined to get that function ?
We will always use h(x) = ( f ◦ g )(x) or f[g(x)]
Generally, look for things inside parentheses or under roots.
What you’ll see is “something” raised to a power or under a root.
That something becomes our g(x), and then f(x) becomes a simple
equation with x replacing the “something”.

We will always use h(x) = ( f ◦ g )(x) or f[g(x)]
Generally, look for things inside parentheses of under roots.
What you’ll see is “something” raised to a power or under a root.
That something becomes our g(x), and then f(x) becomes a simple
equation with x replacing the “something”.
Example : If h(x) = ( x + 2 )2 was created by ( f ◦ g )(x)
find the functions f(x) and g(x) that created h(x)

Example : If h(x) = ( x + 2 )2 was created by ( f ◦ g )(x)
find the functions f(x) and g(x) that created h(x)
h(x) = ( x + 2 )2 ** you can see, that x + 2 is raised to the 2nd power
** so x + 2 is our something raised to a power

Therefore : g ( x ) = x + 2

Therefore : g ( x ) = x + 2
Removing the x + 2 from the parentheses and replacing it with just x
creates our f(x)

Removing the x + 2 from the parentheses and replacing it with just x
creates our f(x)
Composite Functions : going backwards
Example : If h(x) = 4( x – 5 )3 + 2( x – 5 ) was created by ( f ◦ g )(x)
find the functions f(x) and g(x) that created h(x)
Composite Functions : going backwards
Example : If h(x) = 4( x – 5 )3 + 2( x – 5 ) was created by ( f ◦ g )(x)
find the functions f(x) and g(x) that created h(x)
Can you see the “something” ??

Example : If h(x) = 4( x – 5 )3 + 2( x – 5 ) was created by ( f ◦ g )(x)
find the functions f(x) and g(x) that created h(x)
Can you see the “something” ?? It’s x – 5

Therefore : g ( x ) = x – 5

g ( x ) = x – 5
Now replace the x – 5 inside each parentheses with just “x”

Example : If h(x) = 4( x – 5 )3 + 2( x – 5 ) was created by ( f ◦ g )(x)

g ( x ) = x – 5
Now replace the x – 5 inside each parentheses with just “x”
f ( x ) = 4( x )3 + 2( x )
Composite Functions : going backwards
Example : If h(x) = 4( x – 5 )3 + 2( x – 5 ) was created by ( f ◦ g )(x)
find the functions f(x) and g(x) that created h(x)

f ( x ) = 4( x )3 + 2( x )
