How do you find the compositions given #f(x) = x/(x + 1)#, #g(x) = x^2 - 1#? Precalculus Functions Defined and Notation Function Composition 1 Answer Konstantinos Michailidis Jan 25, 2016 For f(x) the domain is #R-{1}# and for g(x) is #R# where #R# is the set of real numbers. Hence #f(g(x))=(x^2-1)/(x^2-1+1)=(x^2-1)/(x^2)=1-1/(x^2)# and #g(f(x))=(x/(x+1))^2-1# Answer link Related questions What is function composition? What are some examples of function composition?
