Solve equations for composite functions?

You need to enter you functions correctly. Also, I forgot some parenthesis around the second example. g[1] took precedence over the composition.

In[1]:= f[x_] := x^2 + 2
 g[x_] := 4 x - 5

In[2]:= f@*g@1

Out[2]= 3

In[3]:= (f@*g)[1]

Out[3]= 3

Regards,

Neil

if f@*g[1] input , then input g(1). need input f(g(x)) need input : f(g(1)) , where f(x)=x^2+3 and g(x)=4x-5 if input correct , then output should calculate: f(g(1)) = 3 This calculation (solution) should be accomplished by WolframAlpha as : not contained in input of the problem.

If input : f[x] := x^2 + 2 g[x] := 4 x - 5 In[3]:= f[g[1]] Then Input reads : x^2+2g does not give correct input

you can also use the shortcut notation for composition (@*):

f@*g[1]

or

f@*g@1
POSTED BY: Neil Singer 
f[x_] := x^2 + 2 
g[x_] := 4 x - 5
In[3]:= f[g[1]] 

Out[3]= 3
