If #f(x)= 1-x^3# and #g(x)= 1/x# how do you find f(g(x))? Precalculus Functions Defined and Notation Function Composition 1 Answer Lotusbluete Dec 3, 2015 #f(g(x)) = 1- (1/x)^3# Explanation: #f(g(x))# basically means that #g(x)# is being taken as an "input" for #f# instead of the usual "input" #x#. So, to compute #f(g(x))#, you need to plug #g(x)# for every occurance of #x# in #f(x)#: #f(g(x)) = f(1/x) = 1- (1/x)^3# Answer link Related questions What is function composition?
