Composite Functions Test - Quiz

Learning mathematics can be difficult, but we are here to make it fun. Try our composite functions test to understand more about this mathematical concept. In mathematics, composite functions occur when two functions, a and b, make a new function, h, in such a way that h(x) = a(b(x)). Get ready to practice and get ahead in your maths class! Let's learn maths in a fun way! Remember to collect your scorecard after you've completed the quiz. All the best!


Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    g(f(-2))

  • 2. 

    k(g(2))

    Explanation
    The expression k(g(2)) means that the function g is applied to the number 2, and then the result is passed as an input to the function k. Since the answer is -2, it suggests that the function g(2) evaluates to -2, and then this value is passed to the function k, which also evaluates to -2. Therefore, the overall expression k(g(2)) simplifies to -2.

    g(k(-1))

  • 4. 

    f(h(3))

    Explanation
    The given expression f(h(3)) means that the function h is applied to the number 3, and then the result of that is passed as an input to the function f. Since the answer is -84, it implies that the function h(3) evaluates to -84, and then f(-84) evaluates to -84 as well.

    f(g(0)

  • 6. 

    g(h(2))

    Explanation
    The given expression, g(h(2)), means that the function h is applied to the number 2 first, and then the result of h(2) is passed as an input to the function g. The final result is -25.

  • 7. 

    f(h(-4))

  • 8. 

    In the following equation f(x) = x+3, find the value f(-2). 

    • A.

      0

    • B.

      1

    • C.

      5

    • D.

      -1

    Correct Answer
    B. 1
    Explanation
    To find the value of f(-2), we substitute -2 into the equation f(x) = x+3. So, f(-2) = -2 + 3 = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    In equation f(x)= -3x+7 and g(x)=2x2 - 8, can you find the value of f(g(x))?

    • A.

      F(g(x))= -6x2+31

    • B.

      F(g(x))= -5x2+30

    • C.

      F(g(x))=22x2-54x+62

    • D.

      F(g(x))=5x2-72x3

    Correct Answer
    A. F(g(x))= -6x2+31
    Explanation
    To find the value of f(g(x)), we substitute g(x) into the equation for f(x). Since g(x) = 2x^2 - 8, we substitute this expression into f(x) to get f(g(x)) = -3(2x^2 - 8) + 7. Simplifying this equation, we get f(g(x)) = -6x^2 + 24 + 7 = -6x^2 + 31. Therefore, the correct answer is f(g(x)) = -6x^2 + 31.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    In the equations g(x) = 2x - 5; h(x) = 4x + 5. Can you find (g - h)(3)? 

    • A.

      0

    • B.

      -16

    • C.

      16

    • D.

      18

    Correct Answer
    B. -16
    Explanation
    To find (g - h)(3), we substitute 3 into both g(x) and h(x) and subtract the results. Substituting 3 into g(x) gives us g(3) = 2(3) - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1. Substituting 3 into h(x) gives us h(3) = 4(3) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17. Subtracting g(3) from h(3) gives us 17 - 1 = 16. Therefore, the correct answer is 16.
