Composite Functions
GENERAL MATHEMATICS (COR 005)
GOALS FOR TODAY
At the end of the session, at least
80% of the students should be
able to:
1. Define function
2. Recall operations on functions
3. Solve the composite function of
the two given functions
FUNCTION
● A function is a relation in which there is exactly one
output for every input.
● A function is a relation in which each element of the
domain (x) corresponds to exactly one element of the
range (y).
Note: All functions are relations, but some relations are not functions.
OPERATIONS ON FUNCTIONS
Lesson Preview/Review
Before we start our lesson, let’s have some review. In 10 minutes, evaluate
each function by performing the desired operation on function to each item.
Given: f(x) = 3x - 1 , and g(x) = 9x2 - 1 , find the following:
a. (f + g)(2)
b. (f - g)(-1)
c. (g * f)(-2)
d. (f/g)(0)
Activity 1: What I Know Chart
In 5 minutes, fill in the first column about what do you know about the topic
based on the given questions.

Exercise 1
Now, it is your turn to apply what you have
learned from the lesson. In 10 minutes,
evaluate each function. The first item has
been done as your guide. TRY THIS!!!!
Given:
f(x) = x +1 , g(x) = x - 2, , and h(x) = 4 - x2 b. (h ० g)(x)
c. (g ० f)(x)
find the following:
a. (f ० g)(x)
Solution: d. (g ० g)(x)
(f ० g)(x) = (x - 2) + 1
=x-2+1
=x-1
Therefore, (f ० g)(x) = x - 1
Exercise 2
Find a partner and solve the following Evaluate (f ० g)(-1)
functions as a team, you will be given 10
minutes for this activity. We all know that (f ० g)(x) =x2 + 4x + 4
Given: So, we have to substitute -1 to all the
f(x) = x2 + 2x + 1, g(x) = x + 1, values of x
and h(x) = x2 + 1 ; find the following:
(f ० g)(-1) = (-1)2 + 4(-1) + 4
a. (f ० g)(-1) (f ० g)(-1) = 1 + (-4) + 4
Solution: (f ० g)(-1) = 1 - 4 + 4
(f ० g)(x) = (x +1)2 + 2(x + 1)+ 1 (f ० g)(-1) = 1
= x2 + 2x + 1 + 2x + 2 + 1
= x2 + 4x + 4 Therefore. (f ० g)(-1) = 1
Therefore, (f ० g)(x) =x2 + 4x + 4
TRY THIS!!!!
b. (h ० g)(-2)
c. (f ० h)(0)
d. (g ० h)(-1)
Exercise 3 (Level Up)
In 15 minutes, evaluate each function. Write the correct answer from Column
B on the space provided before each number. Show your solutions.
Given
f(x) = -4x + 9 , g(x) = 2x - 7 , h(x) = 3x - 1
Column A Column B
____1. (f ० g)(0) A. -35
____2. (g ० g)(2) B. -40
____3. (g ० f)(-1) C. -13
____4. (f ० h)(4) D. 19
____5. (h० g)(-3) E. 37
