A composite function is where one function is applied after another function
The ‘output’ of one function will be the ‘input’ of the next one
Sometimes called function-of-a-function
A composite function can be denoted
How do I work with composite functions?
Recognise the notation
Special cases
fg(x) and gf(x) are generally different but can sometimes be the same
ff(x) is written as f2(x)
Inverse functions ff-1(x) = f-1f(x) = x
Exam Tip
Domain and range are important.In fg(x), the ‘output’ (range) of gmust be in the domain of f(x), so fg(x) could exist, but gf(x) may not (or not for some values of x).
