Calculus Unit 1, Lesson 2: Composite Functions Objectives The students will be able to: - Evaluate composite functions using all representations Simplify composite functions
Materials and Handouts Homework - Warm-Up - Answers to homework #1 - Keynote and notes template - Tic Tac Toe grids - Homework #2
#1-2 1) Composite Functions 2) Practice Skills Test (#1-1)
Time Activity 20 min Homework Check / Warm-up
- Warm up - Students check their answers to the homework and correct possible mistakes - Students are working on the warm-up:
o Find domain and range of a graph o Evaluate various inputs for the graph, and an equation
25 min Lecture / Activity - Warm-up - Main concept: Composite Functions: f(g(x)) - Arrow maps of f and g. Evaluate various inputs into f that require operations to be
performed first.. - Composition problem. Give groups time to see if they can figure out how to evaluate
the problem before explaining. Repeat with other examples, including one that can’t be determined, and one where the outside function is g.
- Repeat the process, using a graph. - Repeat the process, using equations. - Independent Practice: Give several independent practice problems in equation form. - Show the functions f(x) = -3x + 4 and g(x) = 1 – 5x. Ask students to evaluate: f(-5);
f(g(3)); f(Δ); f(x + 2); f(g(x)). Each time, show how the input is substituted in for the x-value in f(x). In the last example, substitute in g(x) to show that f(g(x)) = -3(g(x)) + 4 before simplifying.
- Show the functions f(x) = x2 – 2x + 3 and g(x) = 4x – 2. Simplify both f(g(x)) and g(f(x)). Point out that you get a different result depending on the order; composition is not commutative.
- Show what happens when one of the functions is a constant. 20 min Classwork
Give each group a Relay Race checker. For each round, when all the members of the group have their sheets completed and correct, the group earns a stamp and moves on to the next round. At the end of the lesson, each member of the group gets one chocolate kiss for each stamp earned.

f ( f (−4) ) =
f (x ) = x 2 − 2x + 3 g(x ) = 4x − 2
f ( g(x ) ) = g( f (x ) ) =
Is f ( g(x ) ) = g( f (x ) ) ?
Watch out for constants!
f (x ) = x 2 − 2x + 3 g(x ) = 8
