    Solving Functions
    Knowing f(x)=x^2+x and g(x)=2x+1 how would you solve f(g(x)) and
    (g (circle) f)(4)??

    How do you determine the f^(-1) of f(x)=3x-2?
    Is x+2/3 correct?

    Thanks

    My attempt - two out of three
    A.
    f(u)=u^2+u and g(x)=2x+1
    Let u=g(x)=2x+1
    f(g(x))=f(u)=(2x+1)^2+(2x+1).


    B.
    I don't understand the next part of the problem.
    You have not defined g(circle)f.


    C.
    y=f(x)=3x-2
    x=(y+2)/3=f^(-1)

    Let f(x)=5x^2-4x and g(x)=5x+1

    The circle thing can be read as "of"

    It is just a different form of notation...

    it will be the same as g of f of x.
