Let f(x) = 4x
+ 7 and
What determines the domain of g?
Because there is a square root of x, x must be
The domain of f is the set of all real numbers. The domain of g is all
Let
Is the domain of
No; The fraction can only be simplified and the function is only defined when
The domain of both f and g is the set of real numbers, so the domain of
The domain of
The definition of
The diagram shows what happens when you apply one function g(x) after another function f(x).
The output from the first function becomes the input for the second function. When you combine two functions as in the diagram, you form a composite function.
