We have two function


f(x)=3x

and


g(x)=x+1

We need to find the composition of these function, i.e.


(g\circ f)(x)

Now, notice the following diagram

then, we have defined the composition via our diagram, i.e.


(g\circ f)(x)=g(f(x))

We need to find first the image of x via f, and then to this image f(x), find the image via g, as follows

For f(x)=3x and g(x)=x+1(g o f)(x) =?-example-1
