  1. COMPOSITION OF FUNCTIONS “SUBSTITUTING ONE FUNCTION INTO ANOTHER”

  2. The Composition Function Must be able to work either This is read “f composition g” and means to copy the f function down but where ever you see an x, substitute in the g function. FOIL first and then distribute the 2

  3. This is read “g composition f” and means to copy the g function down but where ever you see an x, substitute in the f function. You could multiply this out but since it’s to the 3rd power we won’t

  4. This is read “f composition f” and means to copy the f function down but where ever you see an x, substitute in the f function. (So sub the function into itself).
