Step 1 Given: f(x)=x3
g(x)=x  3 a) Let us use the definition of composite functions (f  g)(x)=f(g(x)) along with the definitions of f and g to determine the composite functions. (f  g)=f(g(x))=f(x  3)=(x  3)3
(g  f)(x)=g(f(x))=f(x3)=x3  3

Step 2 b) We need to graph the two functions (f  g)(x)=(x  3)3 and (g  f)(x)=x3  3. For a TI8384calcar, press Y=, then enter (X  3)3 afterY1  and enter X^{3 - 3} after Y2. Next, press GRAPH to graph the two curves. image Step 3 c) A function of the form g(x)=a f(b(x + c)) + d is obtained by stretching the function f(x) vertically by a factor a(a < 0 flips the function uψde down), stretching the function horizontally by a factor b(b <0 flips the graph ft),moves the function to the left by c units ( the right when c < 0) and moves the function up by d units (down when d < 0). We note that the function
