Input:
   x
Plus 10
An input doesn't have to
be a number.  Unknown inputs
are often represented by "x"
Output:
  x+10
Input:
   x

The result of g( )
 is sent thru f( )

It can be written as:
 f[g(x)] OR: (f ο g)(x)
Either way, the function
in the MIDDLE goes 1st


Find  (f ο g)(x)

     f[g(x)]
Given that:

g(x) = 2x "double the input"
f(x) = x+1 "input plus one"
g
?
2x
f
?
x+1
Given that:

g(x) = 2x "double the input"
f(x) = x+1 "input plus one"


Find  (f ο g)(x)

     f[g(x)]

Given that:

g(x) = 2x "double the input"
f(x) = x+1 "input plus one"
Numeric Inputs
are even easier:

Find  (f ο g)(6)

Given that:

g(x) = 2x "double the input"
f(x) = x+1 "input plus one"
