    Functions
    I am having a little problem understanding this. I think that I get most of it, but one part is still confusing. I have this problem, and I think that I am doing it right, but I am not sure, and I was hoping for a little guidance,

    The problem is f(x)=2x-3 and g(x)= x+1

    and now I have f(g(4)
    I think that I get the f(x) where you plug in 4 but the g part is confusing me. :confused:

    for f(g(4)) you put g in as x in f,

    so you get f(g(x)) = 2(g(x))-3, you can expand this because you know g(x). Then you just do the same as before, plug in 4 for x

Why would f(x) =pi/4x^3-sqrt2x+4 be classified as a polynomial? How would you determine the domain and range of y=x^4-4x^2? Assuming that the zeros of the function y=x^3+mx^2+nx+2 are integers how would you determine the values of m and n?? Thank you.
