Use the graph to evaluate each expression. See Example 3(a).
(ƒg)(0)
Graph showing two functions: a blue parabola y = f(x) opening upward and a red line y = g(x) with positive slope.

검증된 단계별 안내

Understand that (ƒg)(0) means the composition of functions ƒ and g evaluated at 0, which is written as ƒ(g(0)).
First, find the value of g(0) by locating x = 0 on the g(x) graph (blue line) and reading the corresponding y-value.
Next, take the value found for g(0) and use it as the input for the function ƒ. This means you will find ƒ(g(0)) by locating x = g(0) on the ƒ(x) graph (red curve) and reading the corresponding y-value.
Write the expression for the composition: (ƒg)(0) = ƒ(g(0)) and substitute the values you found from the graph.
The final step is to interpret the y-value from the ƒ graph at x = g(0) as the result of (ƒg)(0).

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Function Composition

Function composition involves applying one function to the result of another, denoted as (f∘g)(x) = f(g(x)). To evaluate (f∘g)(0), first find g(0), then substitute that value into f. This process combines two functions into a single operation.

Reading Values from a Graph

To evaluate functions using a graph, locate the input value on the x-axis and find the corresponding y-value on the function's curve. This y-value represents the function's output for that input. Accurate reading is essential for correct evaluation.

Understanding Quadratic and Linear Functions

The graph shows f(x) as a quadratic function (parabola) and g(x) as a linear function (straight line). Recognizing their shapes helps in interpreting values and behavior, such as f(x) having a minimum point and g(x) increasing steadily.
