Module - Exploring Polynomial Functions
 Lesson 7 - Composition of Functions
8 - Inverse Functions and Relations
Objective

The student will be able to find the composition of functions.

Composition of Functions

Below are sliders that help to change two functions - F(x) and G(x). Notice the changes to the shape of the function as well as the equation as you change the sliders.

We have been studying "Composition of functions" by plugging one function in for the domain of the other function. What happens to the graphs of a composition?
