  COMPOSITION AND FUNCTION
Let’s examine the composition of a function: f(g(x)). The domain of “g” is x and g(x) is the domain of “f”.

Let’s look at this example:

If f(x) = 3x2 and g(x) = x + 1, find f(g(2)).

Note: The domain of g is 2. Thus g(2) = 2 + 1 = 3.

f(g(2)) = f(3)

f(3) = 3 • 3 • 2 = 3 • 9 = 27
