To find f ○ g, evaluate g(x) first. Then use the range of g as the domain of f and evaluate f(x).
f[g(7)] = f(0) or –1 g(7) = 0
f[g(–1)] = f(7) or 7 g(–1) = 7

Compose Functions
To find g ○ f, evaluate f(x) first. Then use the range of f as the domain of g and evaluate g(x).
Answer: Since 6 is not in the domain of g, g ○ f is undefined for x = 2.g ○ f = {(9, 9), (7, 0), (0, 7)}
g[f(2)] = g(6) g(6) is undefined.
g[f(9)] = g(4) or 9 f(9) = 4
g[f(7)] = g(7) or 0 f(7) = 7

Use Composition of Functions
TAXES Hector has $100 deducted from every paycheck for retirement. He can have this deduction taken before state taxes are applied, which reduces his taxable income. His state income tax is 4%. If Hector earns $1500 every pay period, find the difference in his net income if he has the retirement deduction taken before or after state taxes.
Understand Let x = his income per paycheck, r(x) = his income after the deduction for retirement, and t(x) = his income after the deduction for state income tax.
Use Composition of Functions
Plan Write equations for r(x) and t(x).
$100 is deducted for retirement. r(x) = x – 100
The tax rate is 4%. t(x) = x – 0.04x
Solve If Hector has his retirement deducted before taxes, then his net income is represented by[t ○ r](1500).
[t ○ r](1500)= t(1500 – 100) Replace x with 1500 inr(x) = x – 100.
= t(1400)
Use Composition of Functions
= 1400 – 0.04(1400) Replace x with 1400 in t(x) = x – 0.04x.
= 1344
If Hector has his retirement deducted after taxes, then his net income is represented
by [r ○ t](1500). Replace x with 1500 int(x) = x – 0.04x.
[r ○ t](1500) = r[1500 – 0.04(1500)]
= r(1500 – 60)
= r(1440)
Use Composition of Functions
= 1440 – 100 Replace x with 1440 in r(x) = x – 100.
= 1340
Answer: [t ○ r](1500) = 1344 and [r ○ t](1500) = 1340.
The difference is 1344 – 1340 or 4. So, his net income is $4 more if the retirement
deduction is taken before taxes.
A. Her net income is $20 less if she has the retirement deduction taken before her state taxes.
B. Her net income is $20 more if she has the retirement deduction taken before her state taxes.
C. Her net income is $10 less if she has the retirement deduction taken before her state taxes.
D. Her net income is $10 more if she has the retirement deduction taken before her state taxes.
TAXES Brandi Smith has $200 deducted from every paycheck for retirement. She can have this deduction taken before state taxes are applied, which reduces her taxable income. Her state income tax is 10%. If Brandi earns $2200 every pay period, find the difference in her net income if she has the retirement deduction taken before state taxes.
