DEFINITION Composition of Functions If f and g are functions, the composite function f © g (“f composed with defined by (F © ghx) = f(g(x)). The domain of f © g consists of the numbers x in the domain of g for which g(x) lies in the domain of f.

(b) Horizontal: The graph of y = V/3x is a horizontal compression of the graph of y = Vx by a factor of 3, and y = V/x/3 is a horizontal stretching by a factor of 3 (Figure 1.58). Note that y = V3x = V3 Vso horizontal compression may cor- respond to a vertical stretching by a different scaling factor. Likewise, a horizontal stretching may correspond to a vertical compression by a different scaling factor.
