Compose functions

Top  Previous  Next

 

This wizard is used to calculate the composition of two functions where both are functions of a single variable.

 

It can be accessed by clicking on Wizard Button | Function | Compose functions.

 

To compose functions:

  • Enter the first function.
  • Press the down key or click on the next line.
  • Enter the second function.
  • Press "Solve step" or "Solve all" button to see the solution process.

 

hint2 Make certain that you enter the function in functional notation. For example you can enter f(x)=2x+3. Also, use different names (letter designators) for different functions.

 

hint2 Remember that the composition of functions is not commutative. That's why the software calculates both compositions, f(g(x)) and g(f(x)).

 

hint2 If you need an explanation for any particular step, click on the step and then click on the "Explain" button.
